it's dutch: Because my thread has been closed you can have this instead of that. However, the Dutch used is very poor (it says 'hen' which is plural, but it refers to her/his thread which is singular. And 'draad' is a wrong translation for thread.) It was probably 'made' with Babelfish  |

FYI I don't usually broadcast PMs I receive, but there was a message I couldn't translate from a poster I don't know, and I wanted to share the lyrics with others.

Thats Dutch and it is good Dutch, draad is a simple translation for thread, as a thread in a forum (such as this one) Draad is used in Dutch forums... and the ''hen'' part is refurred to as ''them'' as to: You can have this instead of them..
So correct translated it would be:
Since my thread was stolen You can have this instead of them.

'Hen' refers to the thread, which can't be plural (but 'hen' is - you can't say 'them' about 1 thread). |

Believe me ´´draad´´ is used as thread in Dutch.. and in the context as I see it he is saying them as to a group of people and not to a thread, as the thread he is talking about being stolen is this one: www.live4ever.proboards48.com/index.cgi?board=news&action=display&thread=47404 |

look at the lyrics in the pm ... now have a look at these, posted by user 'twoface' :
"Come on
Come on
Don't give up and move on
Come on
We can do no wrong
In the end there will be love
And we can all soldier on
In the end there is love
We will all soldier on
We will all soldier on
Until we are one
We will all soldier on"
very conceivably could be the same song... "wasting away..." could be the first line of a verse, while the "come on come on.." part could be near the end

I've been on Dutch forums for 7 years now and never came across the name 'draad' for a thread  If he uses 'draad'/thread for a group of people, how can a group of people get 'closed'? |

I've been in several forums for several years maybe not seven but ok and i've seen it come by a few times.. Dictionary: thread zn. draad, lont; (in computers) een serie Internet artikelen die over een bepaald onderwerp gaan; They way I see it he is saying: Because they closed/highjacked my thread you can have this instead of them ( the ones in the closed/highjacked thread... or draad you know wat I mean |

It wouldn't make sense if he was talking about 'the ones in the thread', in that case he would say: "Because 'they' closed my thread you can have this instead of 'the people who posted in my thread' ?? That doesn't make sense  |

I see it as: They closed my thread so you can have it, instead of the other people (which would have got it if he had posted it but he couldn't as it was closed) |

In any case, i think the fact that he adresses anthmcc with the formal 'u', and not with 'jij' is prove that the sentence was created with babelfish |

Edit: Wait.. how can Hen be translated to That? |
