I am on the Linux India list. Top notch people It took me a week to read
English in one of their posts.
Little things like:
You becomes u
Are becomes R
et
Drove me craze for a month or so until I decoded their craze English.

And all of those guys are excellent.

I am also on another list (not computer) where the people speak perfect
fluent Harvard level graduate English. Biggest bunch of screw balls I have
ever read posting from.

So please do not confuse proficiency with proficiency in computers.

Thanks
Frank
