Last I checked, 82% of this country was English.

But the best way to fight this french arrogance is to keep posting in
english, don't worry about the headers, let them eat their own dog food.

Ah, ben oui. Alors, pourquoi se soucier de ceux qui ne le sont pas, hein?

Most either can't or play dumb. Never did master the skill of telling the
difference.

Que c'est gentil ! La faute est à l'OP : la courtoisie exige que l'on doive
poster dans la langue qui convient à chaque groupe de news. Des injures
généralisées, injustifiées, et inintelligentes sont superflues.

How charming you are! It's all the OP's fault: courtesy requires that one
should post group by group in the language appropriate. Generalised,
unjustified, and unintelligent insults are superfluous.

On pourrait également demander pourquoi des anglophones continuent à poster
en anglais à *quatre* groupes francophones. Vous adorez tant la langue
française ? ;-D

One might equally ask why English speakers are continuing to post in English
to *four* French-language newsgroups. Do you love French that much ? (Now
how to translate that smiley [ho ho].)

And I am reading and replying to you in fr.soc.religion. Like you, I have
not altered the original message headers - whence the continued
cross-posting.

I can speak only for myself. If you read what I have written in this thread,
you will see that what I am beefing about is (1) the OP's breach of
netiquette in cross-posting to different language groups; (2) the way the
discussion has degenerated into comments about the arrogance and other
faults of anglophones, francophones, Quebecians, and - I don't know -
whomever else. Looks like pots and kettles to me (if I can say so without
offending everyone all at once.)

What you do in Westpondia is up to you. It doesn't bother me much.
Correction: what your southern neighbours do is frequently irksome; I can't
think of anything I have against the Canadians.... :-)
