Although it seems like the gravitational centre of this list is very
much set in The Netherlands, its scope also includes the French speaking
part of Belgium [1] and Luxemburg. Using English as lingua franca makes
sense.
I checked the FSFE website again and it turns out that there's also an
fsfe-nl mailing list. Having both of them seems like overkill to me.
While we're on the subject of policy: my vote also goes to proper
quoting. ;)
[1] And the German speaking part for that matter.
