- Well, I think the biggest beef that I'd have with the Russian joke is that:
-
- (1) Except for Russians (obviously), very few people speak Russian (that I
- know of), and that language isn't widely used.
-
- (2) When posting to a worldwide net, it's better to keep it in a language that
- many people can understand. And since money can't be transmitted over the net,
- English is a good substitute. :&)
