Hi, Alan!  Recently you wrote in a message to Alexander Koryagin:

AK>  If it was me "I am all set". Yes, it was me,
AK>  so I am all set now.

AK>  But what does "all set" mean in other words?

AI>  No action needed on your part.


          My CANADIAN OXFORD says "ready to proceed".  Either way, the idea is that if Alexander expresses no objection there shouldn't be any further drama.



AK>  PS: Besides, they wrote "was", not "were".

AI>  Yep, that seems correct in this case.


          I would say so.  Perhaps Alexander is thinking of situations where a person is imagining e.g. how it might feel to be in somebody else's shoes.  If money were no object I'd buy one of those fairy tale German castles & equip it with a pipe organ.  In real life Yahoo wanted to ensure the person claiming to be Alexander was Alexander when he used different hardware &/or software.  :-)
