Danish is by no means *foreign* to me ! I think the national language could be used on the net in several ways: one is to have a national subgroup with only distribution in the country, in Denmark we have the dk. group. Then you could have all kinds of subgroups to that. That would be an elaborate scheme if you would like to have all the groups of net. Another way is to post discussion to the net group, but restrict distribution to the national group, in casu dk. On the European net, eunet, we have seen discussions in other languages, e.g. German, French and Finnish(!), but as Europe is more oriented to more languages, I think this is OK.
