Nor how to quote.

Indeed, which is one of the reasons I mistook Peter B's comments for Tarkus'.  To me it seemed Tarkus performed a reasonably dispositive experiment, then ignored its results and changed the subject.

Quotes are not difficult. I often harbour the thought that it is intentional. I was tempted to bork this quote for the sake of irony, but I manfully resisted.

Jay, it was Paul's experiment, not Pete B's.  :)

All right, I'm just going to give up on proper attribution at this point.  From now on, everyone who isn't me will be called Bob.  Except for Bob.  :P

I sincerely hope that's "Bob" Rowan Atkinson style.

Wait - I'm a Bob.  So if you're going to call me Bob because my user name is SUS_Pilot, then you can't call me Bob, because I'm Bob.  So you'll have to call me SUS_Pilot, but you can't do that because everyone who is not Bob is Bob.  But.....

Given my abysmal track record lately with attribution, I can't even trust myself to apply gender-specific monikers.  "Bob" just sounded funniest, for reasons that include but are not limited to Rowan Atkinson.
