Gentlemen,
I just wanted to make a comment here. There used to be a "Spanish" section. I do not know what happened to it or why, but it seemed to be used.
Anyways, this is the American Welding society welding forum, but as we can all tell, many nationality's frequent this forum.
English is my first language, and I speak a little Spanish (very little) but I am far from fluent. I have translated as best I can, the preceeding post's that are in Spanish, German, and Dutch/Danish I think. I had a little trouble translating 3.2's post but I think I got pretty close.
I will just say, let's try to help the guy and maybe the admin./moderators will bring back the Spanish section, or maybe a all around foriegn language section where someone who does not speak English can try to get some help.
So without further derailment of this thread, ask yourselves, "If someone were to post in German or Dutch/Danish, would you have responded in the same manner?"
There is no need to repl, this is just a question to ask yourselves. If you would like to comment to me about it, please PM me or start a thread in the "Bar & Grill" and I will be happy to listen and discuss in a civil manner. :-)

BryonLewis ,
You stated:
I had to dig a little for my data as well as my grammar.
It also took me a little time for me to read and respond. We both were able to do this with minimal effort, as were others. The OP could have done this as well. When all other posts are in English, why post in another?
I don't know, hogan, perhaps the OP doesn't speak English. That could be the obvious answer. Its irrelevant, the guy had a question, I thought I had an answer. One that he could possibly understand. That seems to be a fairly decent practice. I thought that is what the forum is for, to help people whom are interested in welding. I don't know if you are a welder, but I have never used a welding machine with an accent. Miller, Lincoln, Hobart, whatever, they all sound pretty much the same.
I think your missing my point.
