    Now that we are at it David, you might have mentioned that it can also be moved to the beginning of a sentence.


    You're an English teacher, so I can (somewhat mutedly) let rip.
    HOW MUCH BLOOD AND SWEAT AND TIME DO YOU BLITHELY DEMAND, that I should cover every contingency.

    If you can round out the picture.......that's the essence of a forum: we all have a chance to contribute - do it without suggesting I have failed the threader!

    Neither did I demand anything nor said you failed the threader.

    If you have taken it this way, I could have said the same at simply stating that his sentence was in essence correct.

    So , take it easy, dear

    I'm very easy - when people see me as an adult and don't talk to me like a pupil in their classroom: "Could have done better."
    Your profession moulds you.

    HUH?? Who said that?

    Are we getting over-sensitive, David?

    I would not dare talk to you like that, YOU are the native.;)
