This *is* a multilingual list.  All languages are welcome here.  The
issue with Meria's messages have been that she's just been saying the
same thing over and over again:  "please write in Spanish".  If she
wanted to respond to something in Spanish, that would have been fine.

What Thomas says may seem like a joke, but it's actually something
that's happened on this list in the past. :-)  I remember a thread
where I was talking with someone in English while they responded in
German.  We used Google Translate to figure out what each other was
saying and then we responded in our own language.
