>From "The New Webster's Grammar Guide" (A Complete Handbook To English
Grammar..)

   When the gerund phrase at the beginning of a sentence does not have
a logical relation to the subject of the sentence, the result is often
humorous. The careful study of a sentence like the following will help
you understand the error and the reason for the correction:

By pressing a button, the table comes out of the wall.=20
(incorrect) (pressing =E2=80=93 dangling gerund)

   This sentence clearly indicates that someone must press a button
before the table will come out of the wall. According to the way in
which the sentence is written, the table performs that function. Such
an interpretation would be absurd.
   The trouble with the sentence is the subject has no logical
relation to the gerund. The subject of the sentence should be a word
that would indicate the doer of the action expressed by the gerund.
That word does not appear in the sentence as it is written. The
sentence would be correctly written in either one of the following
ways: =E2=80=A6 If you press a button, the table will come out of the wal=
l.

What am I missing, guys? Most of you clicked these buttons after you
had read mentioned mailman phrases. Are these sentences grammatically
correct? (Upon reading these mailman phrases, the buttons were clicked
by most of you :-)

Thank you in advance.

   BTW, where is this old grumpy Olin PICking now, does anybody know?
   Perhaps he's got not that much high-society manners, but I'm not a
US president too, to expose perfect manners with good respectable
language.
   What do I need is just uncensored plain EE-related talks. Raw open
country-stylish kicks can't spoil good conversation as for me :-)
