neutral  Alexander Onishko: вы это бросьте! ||| ну я это понимаю, но у нас же как раз пожелание не такое как "ни пуха, ни пера", а наоборот - позитивное пожелание у нас в данном случае!

  -> Александр, я по этикету книгу выпустила, и смею Вас заверить, что пожеление "Ни пуха ни пера" очень даже благожелательное:). И ног ломать никто не желает, это распространенная идиома:).
