Come on, you can do the subjunctive, Paul! :-)
(I wouldn't have used wording like this at all, and if this example 
stays I'll rewrite it, so I'm glad you brought it to my attention. Very 
few authors are _trying_ to make things meaningless, except maybe in 
deconstructive poetry or something, although we all manage it from time 
to time)

Thanks again.
