Translations: [Turkish]- Click here for Part II of my replies (Kent M. Pitman's Second Wind, 13-Nov-2001)
The term "second wind" is a bit of a misnomer there. I didn't decide suddenly to answer a bunch more questions; I offered one long reply which exceeded some fixed length boundary of the forum's web tools. So they had to run it in two parts.
