Genuine thanks for the correction. I hadn't had a chance to run down the quote. I'll pass that along to the guy in the email that I received yesterday afternoon who made that quote.

I am always wary of supposed quotations of what famous people said. It seems like they are wrong more often than they are right. It seems like "Honest" Abe (Lincoln) is ascribed the most number of erroneous quotes than anyone.
