It's not my intention to bore anyone into submission! What I meant was: rewboss should read some of the literature (if they haven't already) and know what they're getting into if they want to argue about transformational grammar. I'm not sure that I can say anything more about it without getting out my old books and copying passages, but rewboss doesn't need me to do that.
