All of a sudden you seem to be talking german to me. Don't know why. I hate the language. Just that I'm located in Switzerland does not mean I like to be addressed in german. My browser settings prefer english over american english over dutch over german.

Please tell me how to remove the insulting assumtion that I would or would like to speak or be addressed in german.

Hi,

In tech news yesterday the site admin mentioned that he is doing some changes/cleanup. Hopefully this is just temporary. There have been issues for awhile with wrong languages on the web site.

You'll have to remove German from your browser settings, the sequence is no longer heeded.

See also this thread.
