I thought everybody already knew this, but I have seen quite a few posts lately written partly in languages other than English.
To 90% of us, English is a foreign language. I know it can be difficult to write in English, but you must make an effort. If for no other reason, you will emprove your English skills.
So, if you say "hello", "thank-you", or "good-bye" in your own language, I don't mind (as long as you explain it), because it even adds some "colour" to an all-English forum.
But if you start posting full sentences in your own language, i.e. not English, then you are going against the forum rules.
So, let me make this clear: whoever posted in non-English in the past 2 weeks or so, go back now to your posts, use "modify" and either delete what you wrote, or put it in English.
If you dont, I will -- but I will delete the whole post.
Same goes for all new posts from now on, effective today: post only in English, or I (or one of the other forum Administrators) will delete your entire post.
Any questions or comments, pls reply to this topic.

I apologize if I sounded discouraging, that was not my intention.
And hey, both myself and Zecristo are at least 50% self-taught... can you believe that?
Just waaaaayyyy too much time in our hands, I guess...

One basic trick for keeping on learning is to think of all we don't know yet!
Unfortunately, age and drugs (prescribed ones mainly), have caught up with my capabilities and I'm not able to learn much more and even keep most of what I knew!
