@George,
Actually, I was not, but having looked it up, it is certainly a motto to live by. Linguistically, I see the admonition to preserve order as a very singular, personal suggestion, aimed exclusively at the reader, yet somehow I feel that in following this advice, each of us contributes to the whole, giving the final word a more plural context, almost as if it should be
vos instead of
te. Of course, that's just my own peculiar philosophy at work.
Thank you once again for expanding my horizons!
