"If you hadn't sandwiched the irrelevant clause in between the two relevant clauses - and not just an irrelevant clause, but also a change in topic - I wouldn't be asking for clarification as to whether the bit in between also needs to be done."

Of course, this woman already thinks I'm an idiot, so I guess asking for clarification at this point won't hurt. Just my professional pride and standing.

Oh dear, just when RL has had me siphoned away into the workaday world, life seems to have started a round of beating up on you. You don't deserve it, and I'm so sorry it's doing that. I send you (via icon) a Very Fierce Face to scare life into treating you much more the way you deserve.

Thanks, hon. It's been a really rough couple of weeks - and it's good to hear from you, generally!
