its dishartening to assume im an American. im not i am a proud Australian.
the whole reason i said something is that the list is alwyas posted in
english except a few single posts.
i was only saying he should post in english because someone else who couldn't
understand Slovene might have been able to participate in the conversation.
perhaps someone who has experience in some other language arabic, japanese,
cantonese, french, spanish.....
it wasnt for any other reason than to say open your possibilities to all
possible help. if he put in a translation or brief summary in english that
would have been ok.
