Hi Raul,

I agree with all you say, except for the "considerate" part.  You are ass=
uming=20
the poster is comfortable enough with English to use that language.  Whil=
e most=20
Europeans do know English, in addition to their own language, some are no=
t=20
sufficiently familiar with the language to post with confidence.

Are you saying that those who do not understand English well need not pos=

here?  If that is the case, what list should non-English speaking users o=
f=20
MikTeX post to?

I agree that English should be used since most solutions apply to numerou=
s=20
languages.  However, I assume that when a person posts in a language othe=
r than=20
English, they have a valid reason to do so.  That being the case, a reply=
 that=20
is only in English is liable to be of little or no use to the original po=
ster. =20
The considerate thing would be to post in both languages.
