Readily. In this instance, since posts in French are unusual, I think a reasonable case can be made that writing in French actually drew more attention than writing in English. That helped accomplish the two things my post addressed - promoting the use of foundation-l as the mailing list for Wikimedia-wide projects, and highlighting the fact that Jimbo wasn't receiving messages from this mailing list. I think both situations have significantly improved.
Until yesterday (I think it was yesterday) I did not realize that I was not getting messages from this list, and I did not realize that there was an active conversation here! I thought that foundation-l was just a good idea that had not yet taken off! I thought there were no discussions here.
So now I am behind and have to read to catch up.
