Well, if there's any one people that is ethnocentric, it's the French. ;-)
But seriously, you have a good point. Many newsreaders can't set distri-
bution and even if they can, my experience is that it won't work anyway.

The USENET is an international network and there is no reason that you
couldn't post in another language than English on it.

All you need to do if you want to avoid posts like the above is to get a
German dictionary in electronic form and put it in your kill file. :-)
