Just a kind (in Ray's own way) suggestion ...

Nevertheless, I do understand that if everyone starts starting topics that are only half or not understandable at all for the members, it's going to be a little hard for everyone to follow ...

If I start writing in french, even if it is the most romantic language (as people, and more specifically chinese people say), it will exclude most of the members of the forum ... which it's main goal is to bring people together ...
