   Hi, Alan!  Recently you wrote in a message to Alexander Koryagin:   
      
   AK>  If it was me "I am all set". Yes, it was me,   
   AK>  so I am all set now.   
      
   AK>  But what does "all set" mean in other words?   
      
   AI>  No action needed on your part.   
      
      
             My CANADIAN OXFORD says "ready to proceed".  Either way, the idea is   
   that if Alexander expresses no objection there shouldn't be any further drama.   
      
      
      
   AK>  PS: Besides, they wrote "was", not "were".   
      
   AI>  Yep, that seems correct in this case.   
      
      
             I would say so.  Perhaps Alexander is thinking of situations where a   
   person is imagining e.g. how it might feel to be in somebody else's shoes.  If   
   money were no object I'd buy one of those fairy tale German castles & equip it   
   with a pipe organ.  In real life Yahoo wanted to ensure the person claiming to   
   be Alexander was Alexander when he used different hardware &/or software.  :-)
