Its cool to read even if I don't understand a damn word.
Ed -- that's A BIT debatable. (well, kind of). i've never known/studied the language, but even with an average command of English, i'd say, it's sometimes possible to get a fair idea of what's the writing about...(to be honest, that impression of mine is based rather on staring at a few record-sleeve notes years ago than on any recent Subjectivisten study :-) )

So do you have a fair idea of what I just said?

anyway, Maria D -- pondering over your three-sentence thesis-antithesis-synthesis passage - as it looks to me - the first sentence seems to mention "having read only the English version of ILX" (though whether you say this just 'bout me or more ppl, i cannot understand);your second sentence beats me (hands down, on keyboard);the third sentence: "hence follows that"/or you "feel that" my "first/above statement" ..."is not right", basically??
...so here i sit found guilty, twice, it appears. firstly, the idea i manage to get of your little text is quite "poor" (rather than "fair").secondly, knowing German would probably help much more than knowing English.
((however, those record-sleeve notes years ago that i stared at were, i think, on a couple of Flairck LP's. have you heard any music by them?))

I was just playing with you, t\'\'t. I said "I've only ever read the English-language version of ILX. In a minute, I'll browse through the Subjectivisten threads. I think it's more fun to read if you first put on your wooden shoes."
I'm a Dutch-English translator by trade. Dutch is not my first language, though, so in a subsequent post I apologised to any Dutch-language readers for spelling/language errors. And I told Jonas I had been drinking beer.
The Subjectivisten do have some good threads though that might be fun to transplant here - like "what is worse: when a band you hate gets a great review OR when a band you love gets a terrible review"
I'll go see if I can kazaa me up some Flairck.
