agree Elena Petelos : Didn't see you. :-) http://www.astro.washington.edu/fraser/archive/neo_searches.... /Some crazy people are trying to convince me to read S. King in Greek (I have not had the "pleasure" since '92). :-) Expect many kudoz questions. :-)/ Fingers crossed. :)

thank you, Elena :) + :)) I'll be glad to help, but not if it'll be in Greek ;-) Speaking of translations of SK, many Russian ones are very good, so I hope you'll be lucky to find some great translations into Greek, too

Probably. I think "Without (with not much) confidence but not without hope" may be one of the possible options
