Afternoon all,
To ban Afrikaans is in my view a very sad development for Pprune. I'm sure that 99.99% of all posting is done in English so I fail to see a problem.
As a pommie living in SA, after 10 years I can still only manage 3-4 sentences however, I'd hate to see you guys unable to post in Afrikaans. Although its all double dutch to me never once do I feel offended and excluded as a result. Its part of the culture of the country i love - simple as that.
Although I respect that Pprune is owned and run by Danny, it's priceless assest is the openness, experience, enthusiasm, encouragement (mostly) and passion for all things aviation of the people that contribute - particularly a certain chopper jock with a penchant for cheap red wine.
Lets hope that all is resolved soon and this proves nothing more than a storm in a teacup
