Hi, Dallas!  Recently you wrote in a message to Anton Shepelev:

 AK>  If I talk about myself, can I say: "I drained Jim
 AK>  everything I knew about his wife's love affair."  ;-)

 DH>  You can -- I wouldn't -- it's not wrong,
 DH>  just....unusual!

 AS>  I am sure it is wrong without an "of" before "everything."

 DH>  Definitely wrong. My original had the "of"; your quote
 DH>  above seems to have omitted it.


           In Alexander's message, as we received it here, the "of" was left out.  I figure Anton quoted Alexander's words correctly as he saw them.  :-Q
