With all due respect may I suggest that those of us (including myself) who don't understand some of the postings and find them annoying (the way I do) try to be a little bit more generous and considerate ? It may be that the person posting to this group is not aware of the implicit rules that are somehow accepted in the minds of the multitude. It may verywell be that this group is his sole open window... Whenever I see a posting in another language, I simply ignore it. It takes me one click on my keyboard ... not to big a price for what it is worth. After all, the golden rule of programmers is Generosity.
