Thank you very much! Nitpicky readers are the kind of readers I look forward to, since they're the ones that help me learn the most. That's why I thought this site would be a good place to post. That said, I learned those two things in class, but I see I didn't make them come accross at all. I'll see how to make that clearer.

Thanks for your reply!
