I should think that since the topic at hand was the "fascism" of particular
governments dictating where and when a person may use either of the
official languages of Canada, the use of French is perfectly justifiable,
and a useful reminder of what the issue truly is.
And your posting is a poignant reminder that there are people who are
willing to dictate which language Canadian citizens must use.

I do not recall any decree from the Net.Gods that Usenet is English only.

Luv,

Brian
