Hello SM,

I agree with you. Also, I believe that it is not that difficult for a
mauritian person to write a mail in good english. The problem is when the
latter is sending misleading information. He/she should make sure that the
right information is being sent since this mailing list is public and
anyone can access it.

Regards,
R.J
