Me (aja_1991):
Thanks for providing the context of the quote... definitely paints it 
in the proper perspective.

Me (aja_1991):
Agreed entirely.  Actually, your response to my original message is 
what I would hope would happen - someone sees something that looks 
different and potentially valuable, presents it to the group, which 
considers and debates it and uses the vast knowledge of the group to 
provide context, original sources, or simply debunks the whole 
thing.  So... thanks, GulPlum!
