You certainly are correct with what you say, and indeed you have a valid point.  However, this is an advertisement requiring unambiguity, brevity and terseness.  There will always be (a difficult) process of selection and the inevitable omission.  I think the text is almost too long as it stands.  However, if the interest of anyone has been aroused by the advertisement, the visually poignant Lumiera.org at the end will surely entice a visit for the curious, where such points will be clarified.

Finally, we have already agreed a while back on the text, and I can think of many reasons against re-starting a discussion on that as I'm sure you can too.  It's been difficult enough plying a response from ginger and I'd really like to contact her as quickly as possible.
