**** Irmeli: Yes REALLY was wrong choice of words. And my interpretation was not something MMY was consciously wanting to say. But I see the statement revealing his subconscious motives. Btw it is a lovely summer evening now here in Finland. I'm sitting outdoors on the veranda in the city and listenening to a nightingale singing very loudly nearby.The lilacs are in full blossom and spreading their fragrance. It is 11.20 pm and still light, even if the half moon can be seen on the sky already clearly.
