<excerpt> Hi John --
I believe the correct colloquial English translation would be "Pearls
before swine." from the Bible - Matthew 7,6;
'Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your
pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet. '
Gee -- I can't imagine why anyone could feel like that.=A0 Don't the
students appreciate what we have done for them :-)=20

"Such a muck. That will never function. Those are nevertheless all
stupid - beads before the sows! We should give up."

I never thought I'd say this to you, but you are being too optimistic.

Okay, I'll be more German again:
"So ein Mist. Das wird nie funktionieren. Die sind doch alle doof -
Perlen vor die S=E4ue! Wir sollten aufgeben."
Ahh, feels good to be my normal pessimistic self again.
