Hmm. Your misquoting of me still litters google searches for my name
and probably will forever.
I disagree that it was a misquote. You've claimed that I took it out of
context, but I don't see that the context makes a difference.
I would far prefer if you are to quote
people to also have a link to an archived messages from which you
took the quote so people aren't made out to look like idiots.
OK then, just this once - that quote comes from a comment on:
http://www.crookedtimber.org/archives/002243.html
and, for the benefit of any humour-impaired readers out there: it was
intended from the outset as a joke.
