Since I explicitly asked for it, I should (and do) stand that now ;)
By now I did not fully examine what you wrote, but I'll do so in the  
next couple of days.

Well, let it put me this way: your english can't be worse than mine.  
Unfortunately there are right now 0 (in words: zero) native speaking

and it shouldn't.
So does the universe explode if you spray duct tape with WD-40?
