You misread mine.  "Of course" was used as a conjunction, nothing
more.  I could have said "however" or "but then" or any number of
others.  Had I meant "of course" as a way to agree with Simon, (1) I
would still have needed a subordinating conjunction to introduce the
subsequent dependent clause; and (2) I would have needed a semicolon
instead of a comma since "of course" would have been a complete
thought.
