I just got this private message (name withheld, of course) from a loyal and
caring supporter:

I gave credit, in a subsequent posting, to the highly paid PR people who
create (or plagiarize, or whatever) nice-sounding sentences for their
bosses.  In a way, we are being subsidized by greater forces.  We might as
well enjoy...
 
 
For those of you who missed the origin of the whole saga, here is the
quotation itself, for your own enjoyment, research, follow up, and (last
but not least), ACTION:
 
        All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good people to do
        nothing.
 
 
>Have a marvelous weekend,
 
Thank you, same to you   :-)
