considering that in another thread you, peHruS, accused someone
else of not having read all the pertinent postings, you could
have saved SuStel the considerable effort of having to re-explain
to you what he already explained to charghwI', namely that
<if A then B> is *not* equivalent to <if B then A>
(the first statement is equivalent to <if <not B> then <not A>>
but the inclusion of "usually" in B above makes this rather useless)
