Exactly.  And the fact that a native speaker of English took the time to 
translate recommendations at first intended only for the German-*speaking* 
Usenet (with known participants, probably readers too, from Germany, 
Austria, Switzerland, and other parts of the world) into English indicates 
that they hold some significance for Big-8 newsgroups as well (where English 
is the prevalent language, as we can see right now).
