Dear Teachers,
1. The one person that I met that really impressed me was John.
2. John, who I met in Cambridge, who really impressed me, always replies to emails.
The author of a grammar book whom I am now reading says that defining clauses like the type in Sentence 1 allows for "stacking". As to sentence 2, such stacking in non-defining clauses is not permissible. He did not elaborate on his reasons.
Could someone tell me why sentence 2 is wrong?
