Hmm. A question designed to provide an opportunity for you to bludgeon
list members because they don't share your agenda and to allow you to
shill your web site. That does sound like a trick to me, especially
since the phrasing of your question implied you (i.e., a grammatically
knowledgable person) wanted the sentence analyzed.

To ask a question that way and then condemn us for not answering a
different question (how would you explain this to grammatical novices)
is both deceitful and invidious.

Shame on you.
