Well, apart from indeed the slight misuse of tenses (which at first I had not seen. Only when I read this one I came back to your first mail and saw what you meant :)) ), your English seemed quite correct to me. But then, as a Frenchman I'm probably not the best judge in that case :)) . <<< FWIW, as a native speaker I also failed to notice the hiccups. Don't be too harsh on yourself! Jonathan.
