Stephen, I do not know why your comments were written.

That these sentences are not grammatical is not meant.

It must be confessed though, the "rule" need not have been mentioned in the first place.

Metal - "Do not passivize for no reason". I did say it twice already.

I'm afraid I didn't see what the last comment you made with "should" was referring to though.
