 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Given that it's an international newsgroup, it seems to me that
any language -- including English -- will be a foreign language
to some readers.

I have no problem with you posting in Dutch at all. I won't understand
what you post, and you'll probably reach a smaller audience, but that
doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. Similarly, the French posting
was undoubtedly intended to reach the French-speaking readers
of the groups where it was posted.

English is the de facto lingua franca of the internet, but that doesn't
take away someone's right to post in whatever language they feel
is appropriate. N'est-ce pas? :)
