Title: Russian members
Post by: Eddy Matthews on June 26, 2006, 05:31:34 AM: Recently we've had dozens of users join us from Russia, but few if any have posted a message, they just seem interested in taking all the plans and articles we have to offer but give back nothing :-(

Come on guys, there were LOTS of paddlers in Russia, so tell us about them, tell us about yourselves, basically TALK to us!! We don't bite honest!!

It occurs to me that Russian PD's are not talking because they might not be able to speak our language!Â Â On the other side of the coin, I have taken plans from Russian websites but I'm darned if I could even say "hello" in Russian!

Oh well, it's not that big a deal, but maybe one of them will read and understand this thread and reply?

Ich habe nur gedacht, daÃŸ Sie eine Erwiderung zu diesem Posten mÃ¶gen dÃ¼rften. Leider hat mein ComputerÃ¼bersetzer Russe nicht aber hat gedacht, daÃŸ Sie mÃ¶gen dÃ¼rften, etwas auf deutsch nur zu lesen, zu lassen, daÃŸ Sie wissen, daÃŸ ich Ihre Posten lese! Sie werden bemerken, daÃŸ es kein sehr gutes Programm ist das ein dis wirklich von keiner Hilfe Ã¼berhaupt Versuch, deutsche Satz Anweisungen zu Ã¼bersetzen!

Just to show how well this prog works - this is how it translates the above back into English:

Eddy

I only thought that you would be allowed to like an answer to this post. Unfortunately my computer translator Russian has thought not however that you would be allowed to like to read, to let somewhat in German only that you know, that I read your posts! They will note, is that it no very good program that a dis actual of no aid generally attempt to translate German sentence directions!

The links to the photo galleries at the top of the page show some paddle steamers, including this fascinating shot of the paddle steamer KRASNOYARSK pushingÂ what looks like a multi-storey car park, on the River Yenesei
