Hey Peter, don't sweat it.  It's no war and nobdoy's shooting 
anybody.  The fact that the occasional individual might get upset 
about totally irrelevant things shouldn't stop you from posting 
whichever questions (or answers) you might have.

And to pour some more gasoline on the fire: someone claimed that 
"[Here] is behaving as a singular item - as evidenced by "comes"."

Uhm... "here come P&M": in that sentence the subject surely is P&M, 
right, and not 'here'?  So it's "P&M"s singularity or plurality that 
determines the form of the verb.  "Here" has nothing to do with it. 
And no, you don't have to be native English in order to grasp the 
fundamental of international (western) grammar-rules.

Well geez Peter, *MY* post was a JOKE.   Maybe it wasn't all 
THAT funny, but it was still a joke...  I think maybe you missed the 
punch line.  :)  And, by all means ask anything about anything in 
the OT forum, and be prepared for just about any kind of answer.  
It's up to you to decide which one(s) you wish to take seriously.  ;)

 Best regards,
