[pvrusb2] posting language of choice [was: PARTIAL SUCCESS Re: terratec grabster av400.. short report..]

[Mike Isely]

Andrea:

Thanks for explaining things.  I appreciate it.

Marco & other interested parties...

This however still leaves a problem - honestly it never occurred to me 
that I'd have to even worry about this.  The fact is that the pvrusb2 
list is in essence an english mailing list.  It really needs to stay 
that way, otherwise the value of the mailing list archives will be 
impacted.  Also, on a more practical note, being the owner of this list, 
I really need to be able to read what's being posted.  I consider myself 
ultimately responsible for the list's content and I can't fulfill that 
responsibility if I can't read what has been posted.  For example (and 
this is contrived) if someone were to start spewing porn posts in for 
example german there's no real way I'd be able to recognize that this 
was happening.  That causes a big problem here.

I also understand that for those whose primary language is not english 
that this is going to be a hardship.  For that I apologize.  The last 
thing I want to do is make things difficult for people.  But I really 
have to look at the common case here and for that we really need to 
stick to english.

So, my apologies to non-english speakers, but let's please all keep it 
english, ok?  Thanks.

  -Mike

p.s.

The Terratec device is an interesting situation.  From what I've been 
told before I suspect I could probably get it working here in fairly 
short order.  But I don't live in Italy :-(
