  Hi, Steve. If Albert had asked in Spanish for a brief history of POV-Ray I
wouldn't have been able to direct him to the page's .url.

  There's no standing rule that says that anyone *must* speak English-only
but news.povray.org is primarily frequented by English-speaking persons.
Posting messages in English will likely result in more than a few responses
to questions concerning POV-Ray. This isn't a policy of exclusion - rather,
if all parties speak English, why not post in English so others may
participate?

  If, on the other hand, a person speaks only Spanish and I could speak the
language I would try to post my reply to a Spanish-language post in both
Spanish and English, and attempt to translate the context of the question
for the benefit of others. Unfortunately, I cannot understand Spanish :(
