That's because I wasn't paying attention to what I was saying. Yikes!
First I said that a secondary dominant was AKIN (similar to) a temporary
modulation, attempting to describe it by COMPARING it to modulating...and
then I finished off the email by saying it "essentially" was a modulation,
when you and I both know it's not.

Oy vey. I should stop posting so early in the morning. *laughs*

Thanks for cleaning that up for me...you're right...it's easy to blurt out
stuff when you see it all clearly in your own head...putting it into words
is a little harder, especially when it comes to music.
