Tornado Alley (PROG)

[F6]

Norfolk -- OK, here's the situation, and the deal

(and countermanding my tongue-in-cheek comment in the second paragraph of [linked in] http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=126878478 )

I don't allow fake quotes being posted as if they're real, and haven't for a long time -- I am not particularly picking on you about this

and, also for a long time, I have required folks who have posted fake quotes as if they're real to provide specific links to good primary sources establishing that any further quotes posted by them are indeed real -- you are now in that category; from here on out do not post any supposed quote by someone or other without a specific link to a good primary source establishing that the quote as thus attributed is indeed real and not fake

as for your signature, any further posts you make which include that quote falsely attributed to Jefferson will be removed

you have three options:

1) if you just really like that quote and want to continue using it as your signature in your posts here, you may do so if, but only if, you remove the 'Thomas Jefferson' attribution -- if you keep using that quote but remove the false attribution to Jefferson (or to anyone else who never said or wrote it), that'll be fine (and if you're going to keep the quote but attribute it to someone else, the first time you do so provide a specific link to a good primary source establishing that the quote, as thus attributed, is indeed real and not fake)

2) if you want to keep using a quote which Jefferson did say or write, then fine, find a real Jefferson quote you like (from/confirmed by/via http://tjrs.monticello.org/ ) and use that

3) use something else altogether as you signature (and if that's another quote you're going to attribute to someone, make sure it's real and the first time you use it provide a specific link to a good primary source establishing that the quote, as attributed, is indeed real and not fake)

thanks
