Anthony,

I'm not sure how the inclusion of an occasional quote constitutes  literary
weakness.  Please explain.

I have been quoted before, and have always deemed it an honor.  Some people
live their entire lives without ever being heard, much less quoted.

I don't know what's worse though: Never having been heard, or being slapped
down for having a good idea in a place where support is more suitably
indicated.
