ONE, I knew I was wrong and I did not say "TR said...". I said "as TR would
put it...". And he might have changed his words slightly as he made similar
statements over the years. Most people do. I could have also said "to
paraphrase TR..."
So I was not wrong.
William, The Turtle
PS If I sound testy today, be glad you are not here within reach.
Today I am a BAAAD BOY and I do not mean the good kind. More like a bear
woke up in the middle of winter by a traveling tele-marketer. So I
apologize if I hurt anyone's feelings.

Technically, you may be right - but there are a lot of us who were taught
otherwise.
Maybe you want to tell these guys they're wrong?

Thank - but I'll stick with my version.

Walk softly,
