While I don't agree with our stupid laws here (Quebec), I do think the more languages you understand, or TRY to understand, the better you will be, SO . . . if Michel wishes to post in French, let him do so. If you don't like it, hide in the corner and don't read it . . . problem solved.

Ik spreek ook Frans, dus ik kon die mail perfect lezen. Alleen denk ik 
dat gebruik van het Engels aangewezen is om zich voor iedereen
