A couple of weeks ago I read an article in an entirely English
group, in which someone gave the address of his web site.
I went to the site, which I found to be French.  That wasn't a
problem for me, but a few people complained because after waiting
for the web page to load they found out it was in a language they
couldn't read.  The typical complaint was "Why didn't you tell us
before wasting our time?"  This guy told you.

When advertising a web site, it makes sense to give some hint
as to why you may or may not be interested in it.  Like, in this
case, "an aviation-oriented Web site, in English only."
I think he was correct to state the language of the site,
specifically because it wasn't the language that qc.general
readers (and many mtl.general readers) would expect.

As for why he decided that qc.general readers would want to know
about his web site, I have no idea.  But at least he was polite enough
to warn you that it wasn't in your preferred language.
