You mean this list then? Perhaps, because actually it does not have a
language designator.

Ah - well from the stand point of accepting any post, sure - but in
reality I doubt it would work too well if one spoke in Francais, one in
Chinese and another in Polish - but it would be interesting..

I have heard some stories form folks trying that in groups distributed
between so many places, as ours is. If I recall correctly those
experiences where not a great success.
