Dear Nita,
Two lists, one English one Afrikaans, has
been suggested before. However, most people
interested in South Africa should be on one
list : a list for South Africa. That should
be the first priority---language only second.
Someone might say, I won't subscribe to the
Afrikaans list, and goodness knows what is
this person missing out on? We should have
one venue where both languages can be used,
United we stand, divided we miss out----
Best wishes
