DD: Some fine Grammarians on this list have objected to Brad 
Johnston's posting. I am no expert, rather a grammar dilettante,  but 
I enjoy and learn from his posts, which I look forward to viewing. I 
learn from them and the excellent responses from you others. I 
suggest to those who differ that they check their keyboards and 
somewhere they will find one key marked "Delete." I find it useful in 
my aged e-mail program, Eudora, for removing boring or offensive 
mail. Most up to date e-mail programs also have filters that can be 
programmed to do the same without your having to move a finger 
thereafter. So please Brad, Sir, keep those fine posts flowing. I 
don't always understand the nuances, but they are helping me think 
about grammar.
