Glad to be of assistance, iDGS!

The idea that the selector, albeit “complicated-looking” is *not* a “program” that runs in sequence is a genuinely helpful clarification! FWIW, I now appreciate it as being more like a pair of overlaid filters, which, when combined, only select those items where each filter has a “hole” that lines up with a hole in the other, allowing the underlying item to be seen. (One of those things where a simple diagram might also help.) Or, in other words, the components of the selector are joined by an implicit logical AND. As in, both (phrase A) AND (phrase B) must be true in order for the element to be selected. I’m surely botching the point–you can do better–but to anyone with a smidgeon of boolean algebra in their background, like old programmers who’ve taken a shine to web design (*cough, cough*), that might likewise help increase the overall level of illumination. Or\\And not. ;-)

I’m assuming you meant the opening and closing tags of the list itself to match though?
