      MSGID: 1:153/716.0 ee95e4c7       REPLY: 1:153/757 5ee912d0       CHRS: IBMPC 2       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. :-)                                   --- timEd/386 1.10.y2k+        * Origin: Wits' End, Vancouver CANADA (1:153/716)       SEEN-BY: 1/120 123 18/0 19/10 90/1 116/116 120/340 601 123/0 25 50       SEEN-BY: 123/131 150 170 755 135/300 138/146 153/250 757 7715 154/10       SEEN-BY: 203/0 221/0 1 6 360 226/30 227/114 702 229/101 424 426 664       SEEN-BY: 229/1014 240/1120 1634 2100 5138 5832 5853 8001 8002 8005       SEEN-BY: 249/206 317 261/38 280/5003 313/41 317/3 320/219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 331/313 333/808 335/206 364 370 342/200 382/147 423/81 460/58       SEEN-BY: 640/1138 1321 1384 712/848 2454/119 3634/0 12 15 27 50 4500/1       SEEN-BY: 5020/1042       PATH: 153/7715 3634/12 640/1384 221/1 6 335/364 240/1120 5832 229/426           |
