Sorry but you too seem to have missed the point. 'Never, ever' is used not
as a double-negative but as a clarification of the underlying question 'how
often or how long' related to 'never', but of course missed that as well.
Just as it's a clarification in:

and in

est_b/structure.htm

and in

That I missed the ',' is an other thing.
