They are the ones which make sense: everyone here knows (at least)
a bit english. Everyone is interested in tlhingan-Hol.

YES. But that's doubled work.

Then ask. I think, the English here should be kept simple, because there
are several people on the list, to whom English is not the native language.
A suggestion how to deal with non-english/non-klingon languages: preceed the
subject with !CAR-SHORTCUT! (e.g. !D! german / !F! french / !NL! dutch).
But I still don't feel comfortable with the idea of lots of mails I can't
understand (IMHO).
