"Casting pearls before swine" is not just a Swedish idiom. It's well
known in English and most other languages in the world.

Yes, Alan is quite correct here.
The idiom comes from The Bible, Matthew 7:6:
"Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls
before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and
rend you." -- in the KJV.
_Casting Pearls Before Swine_ is the very core concept of USENET -- its
essential essence and current foundational logic.
In fact, what I'm doing right here in this post is casting pearls before
swine. <g>
No, I'm not referring to Alan Crozier.
