Personally, yes, I am worried about the language, especially when on one 
hand you have the TYPO3 community wondering why T3 isn't more popular in 
the US and on the other hand you have people stating exactly why people 
are turned off to T3. If the language that is used on the mailing lists 
is the biggest reason why newbies leave TYPO3, then that is what should 
be changed. Take some responsibility for the damage you are doing to the 
community, even if it's only to admit that you wish to knowingly 
continue to damage T3's reputation in the future.

Yes, I agree. Speaking as the person who offered advice to the original 
post after only a half hour, when the subject line first read "Re: 
[Typo3] Typo3-english Digest, Vol 25, Issue 128" (check the list, my 
message was posted on 10/21/2005 03:05 PM), I can say yes, it is very 
important to answer quickly and with respect. You, on the other hand 
chose to answer 12 hours later, and only after the thread was reposted, 
with language that shows complete disrespect. Since I knew he did not 
post enough information, I requested more rather than insult him for 
being so obviously stupid. So please rephrase that question again, 
taking into account that not only was I the first one on the list to 
offer advice, but also that I ask that we respect each other, not be 
"politically correct".

Alex
