    I shouldn't think so, but then I'm not an extropian. By the way, it was
    *you* who introduced the unpleasant phrase `the kind of twisted ethics
    prevalent on the extropy board'. I'll draw your questions to the attention
    of several members of the Board.

    Inverted commas in this context imply that these are quotations and that I
    have made those statements. I did not. Don't do that again.
