- Please, STOP posting articles in pseudo Bulgarian. We get a precious
- few nonbulgarian readers of this newsgroup as it is. Pseudo Latin/pseudo
- Bulgarian interpretations of the alphabet are annoying as hell!
- If you don't know English, tough luck, cause then you don't deserve to use
- "the network" in the first place.
- Either hack Pnews, so it will accept redefined variations of the
- standard ASCII character set without spilling out garbage, or QUIT posting
- gibberish!

- Later.

- Much later, I hope. As one of the "precious few..." I find the use of
- latin letters to write Bulgarian only slightly less disconcerting
- than the use of Bulgarian at all. If I want to read it, I can usually
- manage about as well as I can using Cyrillic letters which my terminal
- will not support in any event. I would be astonished to learn that
- a world-wide community such as the net included only persons fluent
- in English. Why should non-English users be excluded?Do Bulgarian
- language postings make the net a less useful resource? Please, let
- us have no more of this.
