Dear Johnny.Right honorable mr. Goat Horn.
Lemme say, in your comment about eunuchs, you reminded me of a young John Cleese.
As for your chronologically last comment ending, who does philologically receive? A whole world? Your dear friend dkatryl?
Please enlight me (if you don't mind!).
May your road lead to warm sands!
Thank you very much for your warm wishes. For me, those sands are found on the Costa Brava, in the northeast of Spain.
Regarding your interesting question, since you ask me to clarify the darkness in your mind, I will tell you that philology is of no use in this situation. The solution to the terrible state of doubt in which you find yourself is grammatical.
It's a mistake, I should have written "receive", not "receives". I'm sorry.
I send you a brotherly hug (without sand between toes).
