: Je reconnais l� la r�ponse typique d'un Anglais. Je t'ai envoy� un message
: tr�s poli, et tu commences ta r�ponse par " Dear Mr. Ignorant "

: J'ai d� envoy� mon message dans tous ces groupes pour �tre s�r que la

: personne � qui s'adressait ce message le recevrait.

: Ainsi, tu m'as envoy� ce message uniquement sur qc.general. Je suis � peu
: pr�s s�r que si je r�pond uniquement  sur qc.general, tu ne liras pas ma

: Que sur les ng anglais on trouve " Sorry, french version only " ne me
: d�range pas du tout. D'ailleurs on retrouve souvent sur les ng fran�ais "
: d�sol�, version anglaise seulement ". Ceci est normal. Mais le contraire ne

Considering that qc.general *isn't* a french language group (there's
sufficient english traffic), and Quebec *doesn't* have only one language
of instruction, a message saying "Sorry, French version only" would be
fine. Ofcourse if it said " D�sol�, version fran�aise seulement ", I would
be extremely annoyed. If I could read that, then it'd be very stupid to
say it.


Like saying "For French Information, please press 2", when the intended
audience for that particular sentence would not understand English.
