Personally I think posting non english posts on an international list
is as close to rude you can get. I guess they CAN write in english and
even bad english is easier to read than perfect french if you, like me,
don't understand a single word of French, German, Swahili whatever.

And it's not like refusing a non uuencoded patch. It's more like refusing
a patch where every class, function and variable is written in swedish.
