lee,

i think you hit the nail on the head with the joshua reference: thanks
so much for such a prompt reply!

let's take them therefore as qatals. here's the follow up question:
should we take them in *separate* clauses? or should we consider them
as conjoined within a clause? if there's a choice, i think good sense
dictates the latter.

what say?

worth living, he is now taught that the profitably lived life is not
worth examining. --Benjamin Barber
