But, true, it is not independent.              I was considering this problem, but I could not think of a better       alternative that would not be too stilted or have been too much of       a hint.              And, after all, it is no news that there are national teams representing       territories that are not fully independent.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
