Re: What's the purpose of this mailing list?

Sounds great!  I think I'll add one idea though:  How would it be if 
everyone made up a kind of personal email signature?  I'm thinking it could 
have their email address, website URL, & maybe their favorite quote.  What 
do you all think?  I'll add my signature so you get an idea of what I mean.

Agreed!
Also, when we discuss quotation sources, wording, etc., we might indicate
the source, according to whom, and leave it at that.  I have participated
in other discussions around the web in recent years, and there always seems
to be a potential for arguments about rightness, correctness, universal
truth, etc., etc.  ;-)
Personally, my experience (and I have a very large library of quotation
sources) is that a number of people and/or publications may have said the
same thing -- or nearly the same thing -- at different times in the history
of the spoken/written word.  So quotations may be variously worded and
attributed, with no loss in veracity at all.
One tiny suggestion I would make is that readers share good sources for
quotations they have found; i.e., books, other quotation e-mail lists, etc.
  A short description of the source and, in the case of e-mail lists, how to
sign up, would be very nice.  What do y'all think?
