[TowerTalk] Spanish on list

[Jorge Diez - CX6VM]

Hello Steve,

I don´t know if you refer to an answer I received in Spanish. If that´s the
case, I just want to tell, that maybe problem was that the friend that
wanted to help me reply to all the list instead to reply only to me.

Anyway, this email in Spanish, was related for a topic about antennas, so it
was not a personal email, it was an answer for my question about a problem
in one of my antennas.

So when you say " He then  proceeded to carry on another obviously private
conversation IN SPANISH on the reflector" you are wrong. It was not a
private conversation, maybe was an error to answer in Spanish to all the
list, but it was an answer to a question related to antennas.

"which was only of interest to him and the other party"  That means that the
answer is the interest of ONLY the guy that ask? I don´t think so, I learn a
lot just reading the answers that many friends gave to another people that
ask. So the answers are of interest of all in the list. This is the fact
that when you reply, the reply go to all the list and not only to the guy
that sent the question.

OK, again, maybe the error was to answer in Spanish, but is enough to delete
this email if you not understand it and not to blame with wrong words, I
also "appreciate the fact that mostly members act  like adults"

The funny side of this story, is that where maybe more than 30 emails about
the Spanish answer email, but ONLY 3 emails trying to help to the problem I
have in my antenna, and casually from LU, HK and XE land!... great!...

So don´t worry, be happy, all the people here was talking about antennas and
tower.

I did my best to try to write in English, so sorry for any mistake, but I am
sure you will understand better my poor English than my good Spanish.

73,
Jorge

PD: and really I don´t want to continue with this topic, just to find a
solution to my antenna.

That it is in Spanish?
 
Howdy, TowerTalkians --
 
    I recently sent a TowerTalkian and the  list a terse email that was the 
culmination of a series of incidents. In  this case the poster was carrying 
on a what looked like a private conversation  on TT about his problem. I 
asked him that a private conversation (of  little or no value to the other 
2000 members) should be done off list. He then  proceeded to carry on
another 
obviously private conversation IN SPANISH on the  reflector which was only
of 
interest to him and the other party. I  took that as a slap in the face and 
sent off the aforementioned email.  

Everyone on TT, in spite of members from a  dozen or more countries that 
are not native English speakers, has used  English on the reflector (and ham

radio in general) as the "official"  language and that seems to work just 
fine. 
 
    I appreciate the fact that mostly members act  like adults and we're 
way ahead of other special interest reflectors that seem  to be mostly
pissing 
contests between members. TT is a terrific resource and  I'm glad that it 
works so well for it's members. Thanks to all.
 
Cheers,
