Agamemnon, you seem terribly hung up on this language issue, when I thought you were trying to present points on the Seaking fleet.
Unfortunately, you have provided little more than a few Googled excepts from the news, while upholding them as undisputable truth (which I would expect someone of your claimed education wouldn't do for everything the news decides to print). Those reports demonstrate little more than the reporters' ability to look up "old" in a Thesaurus. We can debate the relative safety of the Seaking fleet, or we can just let this threads run downhill as the one where you got beat up and chased away. Reasoned debate is welcome, the inability to perceive alternate views than one's own, especially from those who may have actual experience, is not.
Feel free to debate in the French forum with the few who are comfortable in that language, perhaps there you will find that the opinions offered to you are not simply given to contradict you personally.
