In Dutch it is 'pearls for the swines'. Thanks for correcting me here.

Even on second thoughts I stick to the remark I made. I spent half an hour translating the documentation before posting my time chooser in that thread. He totally ignored it, when asked to at least give it a try still wasn't willing to give it a try and didn't even say thanks. Pearls before swine, I can't help it, that's the expression we have for such situations.
