If one has already greeted an acquaintance in the morning, and then
encounters him again later in the day, is it possible to say to him "ia s
vami ne zdorovaius'", having in mind that greetings have already been
exchanged, or would this be considered very rude?  I have had conflicting
opinions on this question from native speakers, and would like advice
from list members.  Thank you for your help.
