Even though the quote appears to be fictional (i.e. teucer never actually wrote "I change my name to fluffikins."), any case of a person presenting text in the general form of a quote should not be treated as that person performing the quoted action, unless he clearly intends to do so (e.g. "TTttPF" in conjunction with quoting a message that e sent to s-d). _______________________________________________ spoon-business mailing list spoon-business@xxxxxxxxx http://lists.ellipsis.cx/mailman/listinfo/spoon-business
