As to your amendment of       `presents' to `presented', I disagree. I also disagree about you:       proposal to use the definite article with `devil' and to add a       comma before `that', e.g.:              When I went out yesterday to dispose of garbage, I encountered a       cat that had no tail.              ---         * Origin: nntps://news.fidonet.fi (2:221/6.0)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 14/5 15/0 2 16/101 19/36 90/1 104/115 106/201 114/224       SEEN-BY: 114/702 705 706 116/18 120/340 601 123/131 140 128/2 73 187       SEEN-BY: 128/253 153/7715 218/700 222/2 226/30 227/114 702 229/101       SEEN-BY: 229/424 426 664 1014 230/150 152 240/1120 5832 249/206 307       SEEN-BY: 249/317 250/1 261/38 100 266/512 267/155 275/100 282/103       SEEN-BY: 282/1056 291/100 111 298/25 305/1 3 310/2 312/2 317/3 320/119       SEEN-BY: 320/219 322/757 340/400 341/66 342/200 396/45 640/1321 712/848       SEEN-BY: 801/161 189 2320/105 3005/1 3634/12 5020/715 1042       PATH: 221/6 5020/1042 261/38 15/0 317/3 229/426           |
