Why are you so arrogant as to say that RSRE, "a snowsports forum for
Europeans and those interested in visiting Europe" is "bound to have
mainly UK contributors"?


It's called observation and logic actually. Take a look at the forum


"bound to have" suggests it is not based upon observation at all and
indeed is the kind of statement that would be made before such a group
were even set up. Try again.

archives. An English language forum tends to attract English speakers, and
as other ski forums cater for those Anglophones that ski outside Europe...
do I really need to explain more?


Ah. Yes, you do. It's not an English language forum. Read the charter.


If you had any interest at all you'd be familiar enough with RSRE to
know that there's only one or two non-English posting per year since
the groups foundation. Since you clearly don't read it then it rather
begs the question how you've reached the conclusion the UK needs its
own group.

you have to go through all your code fixing it.
