Most of all I wish to thank my project colleagues Dace Dzenovska and Guntra Aistara for valuable advice and comments as well as continuous encouragement in writing this article. I would like to thank also the two anonymous reviewers of my article whose elaborate comments made me critically rethink some of the arguments and make this article more focused.
