I'm Italian, and maybe I can explain what is going on ...
This whole story started on the graphics list where some
guy named Marco posted a mail in which he said that
only Italians are creative and that americans are
nothing (I'm quoting, this is not my point of view).
Naturally this caused a great deal of posting on
the list. After a couple of days he posted
another mail saying that his first mail was written
just after his father had died and that he was very sorry.
I guess he received an enourmous amount of spam.
Now, I see that the whole thing is moving to the theory
list.

the original mail on this list

>Ti voglio chiedera qualcosa.
>Sei un terrone?
>Perche ti comporti come uno!
>***Potere alla Lega Norde!!!***

can be transalated in
I want to ask you something
Are you a terrone (nasty word indicating
someone from the south of italy)
You act like one
*** power to the lega nord ***

Now, I'm sure there are many Italians like
myself that have learned much from these lists and
I'm really very sorry all this is going on.

ciao

Marta
