Hello Bj”rn,

You never know until you try.

You have rebelled againt the ASCII only/English only culture in Fidonet for
decades and you have repeatedly stated that articles in other languages than
English are welcome. There is a large reservoir of potential contributors east
of us. Who knows what will surface if you make it possible for them to write in
their own native language, using their own native character set.


Cheers, Michiel
