**  in the past, when posting a few para-
    graphs (to give a rough idea what the
    article is about and to give people
    just enough to decide whether they want
    to bother following the link) i have
    put the paragraphs in quotes to show
    that i was quoting somebody else.

    this time it occured to me that it
    was so very obvious that i was
    quoting somebody else that i wouldn't
    bother throwing in the  "s.  in
    future i will always bother.
