Who wrote that message that you get when you spend too long writing and can't post your message due to a timeout....and what the heck is it supposed to mean?

When I searched for one of the sentences you get when you don't get it posted in time, "Time still tries who knows", there are no results on google. I have always wondered about that crazy message.

My suspicion is it is a translated message from another language into English.
Chinglish, Jenglish, Spanglish, Germenglish...etc
Did you ever read some of the assembly instructions for kids toys...it is very similar to this.
I have nothing against it...its just the way things get translated from one language to another sometimes.

It sure was confusing the first time I saw it. Now, I just find it amusing, but curious:
"Mistake! There was an attempt of an automatic insert of the message in a forum. Your message is not posted. Try still times who knows - can it will turn out? Still probably, that you too long wrote the message - then pass to page back, copy the text, update page, insert the copied text and press button "Send"."
Never took the time to read it.
I always go back, click preview and then submit...
clicking submit doesn;t work for me. _________________ Asus RT16N + OTRW
