[OT] Unattributed Quotes in sigs

[Greybar]

[soapbox]
Am I the only stick in the mud that gets riled from unattributed quotes? D*mm*t, give the author some credit and list their name! If you don't know the author's name, two second on Google will tell you.

There are some really cool quotes around here on people's sigs, and some I have taken for email sigs of my own, but I always look up the author so that I can attribute it later.

So give Peter Jackson, JRR Tolkein, Roger Zelazny, Robert Heinlein, Ursula LeGuin and all the rest the rep they deserve!

Hmmm. Unattributed quotes. Quick, John, who said this?

"Meta threads posted in General Discussion get moved."

Heh heh. Me.

I'll have you know, sir, that I always give proper credit to the author(s) of my various sigs. Now, if I could just find something erudite and profound to put in there...

I'm sure there are other sticks in the mud just as upset.

Does that help?

But it is fun for people to ask you where it is from.

If you don't know the source of a quote, Google for it.

And if it can't be found with Google, it ain't worth knowing.
