Since Tink 'mod_edited' my post, in my opinion unnecessary and pretty rude just wiping it away from cyberspace, I'll post in English. I only posted in French to indicate to OP that English is what's used here at LQ.
@OP: Please translate your post to English since all communication here at LQ is done in that language.
Kind regards,
Eric

I hope you, Eric, told him that the forum rules need him to use english language for posting. I understand neither of you but it should be against the rules.
I only asked him to translate his text to English since all communication in the forums is done in that language.
I didn't point him towards the rules since they only state 'should' be in English. I understand, being non-native English speaker myself, how hard it can be sometimes and didn't want to 'force' the rules upon him. I propose we just wait to see if the OP comes back with the English version of his post.

I dont mean to spoil your repute or start flaming. I do not understand what you both said, and because you also responded in spanish (guessing) I just asked you with it.
And thats fine with your explanation as well.
And I do understand the difficulty faced when you are not a native english speaker. I am not.

Hi,
Could you clarify a bit more? In what way do you think you 'spoil my repute' or start flaming? I'm not seeing any flames or so in anything you posted here so I'm a bit lost about what you exactly mean.
I actually do feel kind of sorry for those people who aren't native English speakers and also know how it feels, as I have friends (and family) from the same predicament.

Actually I feel sorry for native English speakers They don't (most of them) speak any other language and expect the whole wide world to understand them at an instant.
I speak and understand 6 languages (clearly not perfect but I manage) and am amazed of the rudeness of tourists (English speaking) here in Barcelona when addressed in 'imperfect' English by Spanish people.

Couldn't agree more, Eric. I'm American, but speak several languages also, but have seen many English speakers get hostile over the fact that other people DON'T speak it. Often ashamed at the behavior of those folks.
I have also encountered many nice folks in my travels who, when it was clear by my accent that I wasn't a native speaker, would slow down, and try to help me. And have also encountered folks in Madrid, who actually threw me out of a shop when they found out I was American. So it goes both ways....
