Ahh, okay, I see the problem now. But well, I'd say "as all except" in a text like this implicitly only refers to those the text mentions in the first place. So I'd say it's good as it is. But if people think this is a problem, I could easily use a slightly modified phrase like "...as all mentioned above except...". Ciao, Thorsten
