I think that opportunities for anyone on here to criticize the diction or sentence structure of mbyron are going to be very rare.

Nevada, I placed my modifier correctly, in a non-restrictive relative clause directly after the word or phrase modified. Only a (perhaps ironic) misreading yields the interpretation you suggest.
