I haven't yet figured out how to register on a site I can't read. I'm figuring... babelfish.

Oops. The Russian site knows I have a US IP address. Bummer.

Okay, good, thank you. I take it you read Russian?

It doesn't like Yahoo accounts, but gmail works just fine and dandy.

Heh. I sound out Russian and thus can find homonyms, but mostly it's that in trawling through sports sites looking for like, women's basketball scores in Poland, I've found that bizarrely, a hell of a lot of these sites name their pages in English.

So, like, the link "isfdriwsg turekrksht" and when you mouseover it, the link that shows at the bottom of the browser is "contact.htm" or something.

For my part, I'm just going to have to do a lot of cut-and-pasting into altavista's bablefish.

It's actually better when the commentators speak some other language. The commentary is usually more disruptive than helpful.

Oh, damn, it doesn't work. They check the IP address to make sure it's coming from the Russian federation.
