      From: dieterhansbritz@gmail.com              There is an old English use of "an" for "if". Where       does this come from? I can't think of similar forms       in German or Danish or Latin.              --       db              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
