Umm... not to be a grammar policeman, but... That last sub-sentence REALLY (!!) needs another comma: ... and if it does, not allowing it to happen. or ... and if it does not, allowing it to happen. The way it is now ends up triggering for the reader a serious logical train wreck, as "does not" and "not allowing" both "want" to be parsed together, but "does not allowing" derails the whole thing and the reader must start over, taking it more slowly this time, trying to figure out where the parsing derailed the first time through and what was actually intended! (FWIW, being a languagelog.net feed subscriber and regular reader, I see instances of this sort of logical train wreck, as it's frequently analogized, feature there regularly. Linguists know it as an interesting quirk of the English language both created and spotted regularly by experts and novices alike, sometimes with rather amusing consequences!) -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
