I don't know why. If somebody doesn't feel good enougth in
english he simply will write in polish. Some english
speeking people will not undestand him. But it still will
be much beter than before. I cannot belewe that polish people 
which used to read this list will not be able to undestand
our english, they wouldn't be able to lern enything about Linux.

The reason why I thing we should switch into english is simply 
and self explanatory. The population of english "reading" Linux
users is much much biger than the population of Polish speaking
Linux users. It is simply the matter of promotion. I will quote
a pice of an email which I reacive from a guy which begin this
discution:

And pld-list is the best source of information for such a people.
Some of us can have some problems with writing in english so what?
If thay feel brave enought to try thay will quickly become able to 
expres their mainds in english. If some are not, so what, thay will write
in polsh and the main part of developers will undestand them. 
I realy cannot see any problem. 

Ofcourse swithing into english will also give as a posibility of
convincing new people to become a PLD developers.
