Qualifiers are at the heart of effective language, eh?
Thanks in any case!

Simon --
Thanks so much! There will be much sports posting when I get back to the US, including enough Red Sox coverage to drive away all but the most intrepid readers!
By the way -- Opening day is in Texas, so I will get to catch that, anyway!
Cheers,
Go Sox!
