online.com... I see a fair bit of traffic on the more techie USENET groups with the broken English of non-native speakers, so I'm not quite ready to go with your "most non-native ..." assertion. These are often people at least somewhat knowledgeable in the field under discussion (networking, programming, etc.), but for whom English is a bit of a stretch. I suppose that depends on the techie newsgroup you're talking about. But the two that I follow most closely are populated almost entirely by people for whom English is not their native language. They all write better than the person in question here (and some are pretty hard to understand). In any case, like I said...I think it's a pretty good bet the guy's first language is English. Non-natives don't get their panties in such a twist over perceived conspiracies like the one he's ranting about, and his utter lack of facility with the English language in no way rules out that language being his first (and only).
