My original had the "of"; your quote        DH>> above seems to have omitted it.        AH>        AH>        AH> In Alexander's message, as we received it here, the        AH> "of" was left out. I figure Anton quoted Alexander's words        AH> correctly as he saw them. :-Q              My sentence had the opposite sense. I drained Jim everything that I knew...                     Bye, Ardith!       Alexander Koryagin       english_tutor 2020              ---         * Origin: nntps://news.fidonet.fi (2:221/6.0)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 120/340 601 123/131 221/0 6 226/30 227/114 702       SEEN-BY: 229/101 275 424 426 664 1014 240/1120 1634 1895 2100 5138       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 5853 8001 8002 8005 249/206 317 261/38 280/5003       SEEN-BY: 313/41 317/3 320/219 322/757 331/313 333/808 335/206 364       SEEN-BY: 335/370 342/200 382/147 2454/119 4500/1 5020/1042       PATH: 221/6 335/364 240/1120 5832 229/426           |
