I can understand your emotions here. OTOH it's typical for Germans (and even more so French) to assume that everybody speaks their language. And if they don't, to make an effort to figure out what the heck they want. I'm sure it's not only not knowing the medium and environment [*], but also plain arrogance. -- Gerhard [*] The very minimum of netiquette would require to read a few messages in the newsgroup/mailing list and check what it is about and in what language it is.
