I ended that posting with "patience" - trust me that the wording of the 
rules won't be so overly restrictive as to limit any _useful_ 
discussions. And since I'm not going to automate anything, using "another 
language" won't help; if it's legitimate to post, you can go ahead and 
use the real name of the language. (Pun intended.) If it's not legit, 
I'll catch it anyway.
