It is fairly dangerous to translate user replies, and I do not feel we are
mature enough to address this problem today.  Jim has a routine which does
it for his three *utils, it created problems already, I'm not fully sure
it is a good idea to leave the translation in.  If I do not speak against
it, this is because I consider it to be a way to acquire some experience
about real life.  I only hope it does not get users to suffer too much of it.

If there are a few quick teams, there are many slow teams.  I do not think
you should fear being overwhelmed! :-)
