Discuss mailing list

["Daniel Quintiliani" <danq AT runbox.com>]

"Current situation" usually implies instability of some sort, as if a 
business is about to shut down due to lack of funds.

Probably half of the "trolling" going on right now is because of the 
differences between users' *native* languages, rather than the languages used 
on the mailing list. 
As another user pointed out, a for-German-eyes-only post about me used 
phrases which Google translated as nonsense with words like "round" "quick 
shot" and with "Mr. Quintiliani" and "demolition" in the same sentence. A 
German speaker, I forget who, pointed out that these are literal translations 
of German expressions which do not imply death threats.
