[CWB] Strange problem with a query

OK. Yes. Problem solved. I had constructed my first query by cutting and 
pasting from another previous query. Instead of having 
[(pos!="N.*")|(pos!="PR.*")|(pos!="TO0")] as I thought I had, I had 
[(pos="AJ.*")|(pos="PR.*")|(pos="TO0")] instead. When the query was 
completed I got lots of results with a noun following the adjective. 
Instead of looking at the command line, though, I kept on looking at the 
queries typed on my editor window. To make things worse I was looking at 
the query that was well constructed originally and not the longer one 
which was actually pasted on the terminal command line. This was stupid 
of me. I think I should take breaks more often.
