I was using it in the sense of "try to guess/anticipate my intentions, or to adjust them in case they look wrong, or to silently correct my possible mistakes -- all without warning me", but I see that the main meaning of the verb is "to criticize a decision after its outcome is known". Oh well, at least I've learned something new today ;-) Thanks, Stefano
