I'm going to assume that you mean the United States of America.  Its
because of people like you that I cant enjoy Slashdot anymore because of
the liberal political crap.  At least let me enjoy the windowmaker list
without having to get pissed off at every other message.  I think
throwing in politics to a non-political discussion is much more impolite
than asking for a question to be posted in understandable form

Torbjörn Svensson was being polite but rational.  I dont see any insult.
Posting to this list (or pretty much any major mailing list) in any
language other than English doesnt make sense.  If most of the people
who will be reading your question speak english, then you are obviously
more likely to get a response if these people can read your question.
