??, grunds?tzlich. ??.

Especially in those discussions about the T?rk?e language that we had
recently, or those bits of Russian that I (or Jimmy, who adds Polish to
the mix) quote once in a while - or when we have authors like Anders
Andreasen, who is the webmaster for the hydrogen storage facility at
Ris?... or even our own Ren? Pfeiffer.

LG, for those Missing The Point (since I've carried the anvil this
far...), is an international publication - and even more to the point,
we get mail from people all over the world on a regular basis. Assuming
that it's English-only mistakes the purpose and the point of this
webzine. We're as international as the Linux community - and damned
proud of it.
