It was you that had the problem about my use of a conditional sentence. 
Joanna asked you to explain your thinking but you have still failed to do. 
Are you one of those people who speak without thinking first ?  I hope not.

Your comment about the Buddha and English is a complete non sequitur, unless 
intended as a misplaced nod to the purported theme of this list -- but I 
imagine that he would have understood a conditional sentence when he heard 
it:  Indic languages like Pali and sanskrit even have a special verbal form 
for the conditional..

But, at the same time, do please try to speaking out of your arse if 
possible.
