  ... how you know that David ??   you are right, all mentions are roughly the same meaning ... with few variations, without affecting the meaning - " Give me to David " - " Present to David " - " Offer me to David " > > > > > > > > > > > > > as per as our agreement, you will find in your mail-box ... my fees   thanks & best regards à + Dom | |
