It was tongue-in-cheek - I did include a translation further down :-)

I think I've come up with a better quote from the classics - from Dante's
"Divina Commedia" (Inferno): "Lasciate ogni speranza voi ch'entrate!"

"Abandon all hope, you who enter!"

It needs to be changed for GPL - but "Abandon all social life, you who click
on gpl.exe" doesn't have quite the same ring, does it? Talking of the Ring,
maybe Wagner has something appropriate to say...

Heine had: (with some small changes made)

"Ich weiss nicht wass es soll bedeuten dass ich so traurich bin,
meine Zeiten sind so uebel auf dem Nuerburgring"

Ah, so that means (according to Altavista):

    "I white wass it am not to mean that I like that traurich am,
     my times am so badly on the Nuerburgring".

Maybe I should give up with that thing and learn some more German...

Technically, the North Americans speak like us (English) since they use
our language :-)))

Hah - you've obviously never been to Maine, Lousiana, Alabama or
Newfoundland. It may have started as English but it's (shall we say)
"evolved" since then... :)
