Please Normann, don't feel sorry and post in German again whenever you
feel like it. The international touch and friendliness of this list is
something, I'm really proud of, and actually, now and then I encourage
people to post in German, if they don't feel comfortable enough to write
in English (e.g. see
http://groups.google.at/groups?hl=de&lr=&threadm=3bn47nF6k80a9U1%40individual.net&rnum=7&prev=/groups%3Fq%3Dscribus%26hl%3Dde%26lr%3D%26sa%3DN%26scoring%3Dd
). And I really wouldn't like  those people getting discouraged for not
doing this or that on their arrival :) What really matters, is WHAT they
have to say, and if there is a choice  between saying nothing or saying
it in their native language, I'm for the latter. 

IMHO, the same  applies to anonymity. If somebody decides to not to
write under his/hers real name, there is probably a reason for doing so.
There are quite a few users on this list who are more or less anonymous
(servants, loki, "cloak&dagger" and so on) and there's never been the
slightest issue with it. 

Please all don't be too quick in saying newcomers how to behave.

best regards
Maciej
