I am list moderator and I didn't respond because Ingo did a superb job
of it.
This stuff is way off topic.
As far as "right of reply", well, no. Someone, at some point, has to cut
it off and that is here and now. No more.
OT == OpenTracker. But, honestly, I doubt that this thread even has any
value there. You can't and won't change the world's preferences on
language through an email forum. Axel (and he alone) may feel free to
correct me on this, but I would believe that that list, like this one,
is for real discussions about things that are within our scope and
control. The languages that people speak and the operating systems that
they choose to run are not within scope or control. Therefore, they are
off topic.

Ingo, If you are the list moderator then I suggest that you either do something about the muesli-munching troll who insulted me or at least allow me the right of reply. 'OT devel list' - sorry, can't find it - any chance of a link ? BTW: When you use the acronym 'OT', do you mean 'On Topic', 'Off Topic' or something completely different ? Thanks,
Kevin.
