Sander.
This is an International forum.
A significant portion of the people that read and post here, have English as a second language.
Ben,
Given the content and context of his "examples" (as incoherent as they were), that was clearly not the case. Either that or he was trying awfully hard to mislead and indicate otherwise.

I cannot speak for everybody here, but I can make room for anyone that's trying. And if I have to put a little effort anywhere, it would be my pleasure to spend it trying to understand them, and consider it time well spent.
Well, I sincerely believe that in fact, you do not speak for everyone here. You can go back 15 years (google and the OS/2 World archives are your friends) and not find a single example on Usenet or elsewhere in which I did otherwise. A great many of those conversations were with "English as a second language" folks. I think if you go back through this thread from the beginning, you may come to a different conclusion. If not, well that's OK too. :-)
This is EXACTLY why I left Usenet and why I post so little here these days. Honest attempts to actually contribute to a thread by helping someone solve a posted OS/2 problem are diluted by a Tim Martin type who will then hijack the thread for the sake of their own moronic ego, or point out the obsolescence of OS/2 and offer a Windows (sub Mac or Linux) product as the solution, when in fact there is an excellent OS/2 solution available.
If I have drawn any conclusion from this thread, sadly it is that my time and effort is better spent in other pursuits. I won't make that mistake again. To be clear, this is my last post.
