I don't expect myself to get on a Hebrew forum (except maybe to see
how it works), but I see it as another choice - if someone wants to
discuss Linux in Hebrew it's his choice. If some members of Linux-Il
wish to help him, it's their choice. I suppose Tuvik and me won't be
there to answer questions but its our choice. The two of us will
probably even benefit from cleaning the current list from non-English
postings.
It's all about choice. I don't oppose to others having their choice.
