   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!
