I mean, they're excluding a portion of the audience from reading their viewpoint, and that way you can't get a full story from _both_ sides. True, they do have a right to post, and basically do anything, in french, but many of us AREN'T french! There are many people who can't or WON'T read french out here! (I'm in the latter - suffered thru High School french because I need it for the Forces - but I *hate* it, and I hate those who post french *even though* they know English, but I guess that's just personal preference) What I really want to know is this: is there ANYONE out there who would/could take these french postings and make them into some understandable English? I CAN read french, but I have to sit here and think about exactly what I'm reading, and I can't do that because I've got ALOT of mail, etc to read (read - I don't want to waste time trying to translate). I know there's people out there in the same boat, and I know we'd appreciate it, even though their ideas STILL wouldn't make sense! :-)
