It's just a little effort to write a .procmailrc, deleting all messages
in languages you do not understand if you get so excited about them.

It is interesting, that people tend to get angry and often become
violent,
is others are communicating in a way, they cannot understand. I have
myself
several times been in conflicts, because of speaking estonian with my
friends
in some other country - Hey - this is our country - be as others and
speak
as we can understand - probably you are speaking about us - bastards - &
so on.
But, hey, we should be over such childish suspiction. If you do not
understand,
just ignore it.
