When I pointed out the indefinite 'you' in a Klingon example (bIje'be'chugh vaj bIHegh - If you don't buy, then you die; buy or die!), the rest of the Klingon list membership considered it just fine, as if it were just an example of regular 'you'. Maybe it is. 

It could be either. If it means that anyone who doesn't buy dies, then it's general. If it means that this only applies to you in particular, (you have to buy, but if John doesn't buy, he's fine) then it's not general.
