As a result of the plethora of responses from Rusty Van Bondo regarding the use of languages other than the Vanagon Sanctioned Officially Recognized Communication Standard of English, the following protocall shall be effective immediately: 1. Messages in english will be allowed as before 2. If a language other than english is being used then a prefix code must be placed at the beginning of each subject header, for example: [S] - Spanish [Fr] - French ...[F] cannot be used as it is already used as a designator for "fun", and as we all know from high school/college, French is not fun. [GER] - German [RN] - Red Neck, especially that dialect prevalent in the Tusks are looser part of Allybammah... 3. Should a list member request a translation of any message written in non-english (ie: above), the original poster will be required to provide a translation of the text in question for ALL of the above heretofore previously recognized languages. The same will hold true for posters of responses to non-english querries should someone request a translation. 4. Languages other than the heretofore previously recognized languages may be added to the list as time goes on by a 2/3rds majority of the then present list members voting. This vote can only be held on the second Tuesday of each week assuming the individual(s) requesting such a vote provide a "Request to Change Language Petition" in ALL recognized languages (including English) to ALL list members exactly 30 days prior to the vote.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter.
