is each of these two uses of {'e'} correct?
the pronoun {'e'} refers to the previous sentence, even if it was used by 
someone else.  i think it's perfectly fine in the first sentence above.  in the 
second sentence {'e'} should refer to the sentence before it, but in fact 
refers to the same one as the previous {'e'}, i.e. two sentences before it.  i 
think {'oH} (or no pronoun at all) should have been used in the second sentence.
