What I was trying to say, perhaps too elliptically, was that the readers of this mailing list aren't expected to read non-English text, and that as a courtesy it's better for senders to translate their messages to English before sending them here, rather than to expect each reader try to puzzle out what to do with the message. Also, as a practical matter, the email filters applied to this list give lower priorities to non-English messages. The message from Ivars Zagorskis almost didn't get through, and if I hadn't been less hurried than usual it would have been discarded unread. The next time this situation arises, I think I'll ask the sender to retransmit in English rather than burden our readers with flurries of messages like this thread.
