Folks, please consider the possibility that Wolfgang is TROLLING. It is very likely that he understands these English "expressions" just fine. Wolfgang is fluent in English, and I respect the effort that he has to go to following these discussions in a language which is not his native tongue, no matter how fluent he is. But in this case, as in others before, I strongly suspect that he is feigning a lack of understanding because he wants to start a fight with the "first sender" as he now puts it. It's part of a long-standing pattern of behavior on NavList. Incidentally, if you don't know what "trolling" means in the context of online discussions, it's something you really should learn. You can look it up on Wikipedia. And while this post is unfortunately off-topic, at least Internet trolling has a nice nautical origin! -FER -- NavList message boards: www.fer3.com/arc Or post by email to: NavList@fer3.com To , email NavList+@fer3.com
