Your sentence probably means than among germans you are the first one (by some unspecified quantity) and I met you. Moreover, {poi} probably should select form the set coming before {poi} subset which has property mentioned after {poi}. And in the given sentence set coming before {poi} has already only one element. mu'o mi'e opilaumas __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
