Please note my comment #5 and the link...

I "sourced" it there... It is a link to the actual article/speech.. and gives some pertinent information on the speaker and his credentials..

Yeah, I get the idea. And while I agree it's helpful to know the source of information, such as in court, for media reporting, term papers, etc., I also know that good ideas and valuable insights often come from sources that are unknown or that many might not seem creditable.

It might have been a vanity post. I dunno. Perhaps for my second posting I'll choose a different forum. However, I should have, as others had, done a search for the author and provided more information. Thanks for the feedback.
