No, I'm not, I promise (but I know what you are alluding to and thank
you for that comment :-)

I was aware I might be wrong, I should be when criticising a former
teacher of the English language, but I took a shot. To my Swedish ears,
the last part of the sentence usually refers to the part before, if you
don't enclose the part before in commas or similar dividers and hence
make it a subordinate clause.

Well, this is clearly OT so I stop here and thank you for the English
lesson of today.

And, as you know, there is nothing saying we can't continue this off
list :-)
