Hello Danny,

AS>> Vodka? I never liked it. Good vines are way more tasty. Without 
AS>> salt.
DC> I think you mean "wines" or "fruit of the vines".   :)  

Wines, precisely correct :) 
Btw, I often see your posts addressed to native Russian speakers in
English_Tutor echo.

DC>> In fact, I never use any encyclopedia as a primary 
DC>> source.  
AS>> What do you prefer as the one?
DC> In general, your research is being done to affirm or refute 
DC> a particular position.  

Or quickly get an idea when no personal attitude is involved :)
I usually try search robots, say, Google, as a first approach though
internet sources may be not reliable at all. In most cases I don't have to
dig any further.

WBR,   AS
