Beautiful.
 
There are at least three ways to do it, giving rise to A-people, B-people, and C-people. I anxiously await your solution. I'll bet you're an A-person, since that it the most populous group by a very wide margin. Craig might be a B-person but he'll have to work for it.
 
Nicely done, Edmund.

Subject: Re: Epilogue on the Past Perfect Controversy

As an epilogue on the Past Perfect Controversy, I thought I might remind you
of a well-known punctuation challenge.  My English teacher used to produce
this sort of thing in the last lessons before Christmas.

The challenge is to make sense of the following by inserting punctuation
marks.  I have updated the names.

'Brad where Craig had had had had had had had had had had had the examiner's
approval.'

I think we all, with one exception, would agree with the examiner.
