This brings up a very intresting question.  Should we get an "onslaught" of
germans onto the EuForum List, are we gonna be able to offer translations
of everyone's messages on the list, or is someone gonna be able to handle
setting up a German Message board, and various other languages, in order to
help thoes who are in need of help?  If the solution choosen is the latter,
I'm more then certian the ones that setup the other language message boards,
can more then repeat the question on here, so that we can answer in return.
