I for one would appreciate it if people were $to post translations with their followups. Understanding the argument is $more important than being impressed by your bilingualism. My high school french is good enough to follow these postings with a reasonable degree of accuracy, and I haven't had the chance to use it for the past three years. I firmly support the right of posters to post in french if they so desire. If you're a unilingual Anglophone, tough - you can't read the postings in any language opther than your own. Look at the other side, though - if you're a unilingual francophone, well over 99% of Usenet news is unintelli- gible to you. Vive le Canada bilingue! -- Stephen M.
