SC - RE: Foreign language posts

[CorwynWdwd at aol.com]

Personally, I see no benefit in uncommented on untranslated non-English text 
being sent on the list. It just adds to the signal to noise ratio problem 
that is so common to most lists. My first thought when it was mentioned that 
a secondary source tells you that the text is a recipe for whatever is... 
"Well... how do I KNOW that?"

I'm not trying to be offensive here, I just don't see the possible benefits 
outweighing the extra bandwidth. Just my opinion.
