Ron, you don't need to aplogize for disagreeing with me at all. I'm sorry for coming off like a creep, but I am offended when another language is used on a primarily English language board. Believe me, I'm not trying to exclude anybody from posting on this board. And when Joe from RI started this board more than 10 years ago, he encouraged all to post.
Ron, you're fortunate that you can speak, listen and comprehend French, I can not.
I feel left out of a conversation or post when French is being used. You mentioned folks being bilingual and wanting to exchange thoughts back and forth. Let me ask you this, would you go to primarily French speaking plant forum and ask a question in broken English seeking out a resonse in French? Of course not, that's my point. I don't want to offend anybody, and I think my reaction has taken on a life I didn't intend.
But here's the real truth. When Joe B. in RI started this board in the mid to late 90's, and titled it Hardy Palms and More for the NE, he inocently meant the NE USA (specifically RI, MA CT, etc). So all this Canadian persecution is really unfounded.
Sorry for my rambling, if a person posts something, everybody should be able to read it, duh, hence, bulletin board!
