The list is made up by those participating. You cannot ask the Americans to
be less US-oriented when their US-orientation actually works.

When some of the Americans ask about things European, they receive answers
- also from Europe. Which proves that there are Europeans out there reading
messages, but mostly otherwise silent. The challenge for us non-US is to
use the list actively.

If Germans used the List as if it was German, French as if it was French,
Dutch as if it was Dutch, and all of us as if it was global ... well it
might definitely be fruitful. At least for a while.

Another thing with relevance to the above: I have noticed a couple of
messages in Spanish. Would messages in German and French and Japanese and
Russian and Chinese be just as welcome, or is this an English-language List?
