Question on Syntactic Bootstrapping (fwd)

[bartsch at zas.gwz-berlin.de]

Dear all, 

Many many thanks to the people having replied to my query, their messages 
were extremely helpful. I'll post a summary to the list in the next days. 

In this context, the following text was added as a P.S. in a reply to my 
query. I wonder what you people think of that. I for my part am sort of 
flabbergasted. 

PS -- Though I've been a writer and editor for many years, my principal
     business these days is antiques. If you happen to have any
     acquaintances who might be interested in purchasing, say, vintage
     costume jewelry -- for themselves or, better, for resale there --
     I would be very appreciative if you would put us in touch with each
     other. 

Best
Susanna
