Oops forgot to change the subject line of my last msg.

In case some of you zapped it due to the subject line, here it is again.

Dear list,

Does the waw-consecutive have any implicit timing in it. It generally
describes consecutive events, but is there any idea about the time gap
between the events?

If there two waw-consecutives are mentioned pretty much one after the other,
does this mean they _immediately_ follow on? Or does this depend on the
context?

cheers,
Andrew
