We don't. At least, it's not my policy to do so...most of the admins 
here don't speak anything but English, but there is definitely 
representation from large sections of Europe here, so I don't think we 
should insulate the experts from those in need.

So I'll just ask for general assistance here: if someone asks a question 
in your native language, even if you've answered it a million times, and 
even if it's just a "rtfm" ... please help us ignorant monolingual 
Americans out and point them in the right direction!


> > This is an English mailing list, please learn some English!

I'm reminded of when I was asking strangers for directions in Madrid, my 
whole life strapped to my back, stumbling through the Spanish for 
"please point me to a hotel for poor people." It wasn't just 
embarrassing for the lack of language, but also the content, but that 
was my life at the time. I was amazed to discover people through those 
conversations that wanted to try their hand at English as broken as my 
Español; they were so proud of what they had learned.

After that, I would never guess people would be proud to _not_ speak 
someone else's language. As a general policy, let's try to avoid 
self-congratulation of ignorance.
