Although       for me it would sound more natural if they did not sleep till early in the       morning in their preparations. So maybe there are other explanations.              Michael              ... node (at) f1042 (dot) ru       --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: Moscow, Russia (2:5020/1042)    |
