Well, I also often ignore this rule. ;)

Well, digestion depends on food habits. ;) And, BTW, where have you found "datchnik" in English dictionaries?
ak>> And he wrte on his fence this announcement:
GH> "He postedthe following annnouncement on his fence: "
Well, but IMHO people write words on the fences, not post them. ;-)
ak>> "One of m tomatoes is poiisoned!" Next day he sees an
