While we're on the topic of "politeness", if you quote someone as
obscure and unknown as a computer professor from Yale which the world
only knows of his name because he was a victim of a mad math genius
and bomber, himself a victim/agent of the CIA's MK ULTRA program, at
least mention the guy's name ...  I'd swear your only point in quoting
him was to indirectly introduced MK ULTRA into the conversation.  That
seems to be a topic du jour of trolls.
