I realize you are referring to "Tim May included quoted text from Steve Schear who used a quote by Heinlein," but your form above suggests I was using the quote. I rotate a lot of quotes, but not that one.
A minor nit, but Steve Schear deserves the credit for using the quote, not me.
I'd love to take the credit Tim, but in this case I think it was you that used the quote (at least it was with your email when it arrived as the .sig) Strange.

Oh, my apologies, especially to Bill. I forget which rotating quotes I have, unless I explicitly choose them.
You are right, it's in my list. And is included below.
Sorry.
