Wow. The Internet

It is great what can be found, if you bother to look. At the moment I have a lot of things to attend to, but I made time and Googled for the word "Among"

American Heritage Dictionary
In the midst of, surrounded by; a pine tree among cedars (what a nice way if used to describe descendants :-)

Encarta
Core meaning : A preposition indicating that something or someone is surrounded by people, things or circumstances

Compact Oxford
1.Surrounded by, in the middle of
2.included or _occurring_ in
3.shared by, between

Cambridge Dictionary of American English
Among also means as _part of a group_ or in the group of people or things named.

I suggest, as I already have several times, that Hines puts a sock in it. He is showing that he is out only on brawling, but then we have known that for a long time.

With best wishes
