Sorry, I'm used to posts where the Freeper contribution looks like this.

And the material from an outside source looks like this.

And your posts are so much doomer diarrhea that I go cross-eyed every time I see one of you data dumps.

Sorry I confused your source's claim for yours.

Now that that's out of the way, do you agree with it or not?

It's been my experience that when someone says CNBC's Steve Liesman reports on a letter from Treasury Secretary Paulson to New York Fed President Tim Geithner (PDF) it's an outside source they are citing. Not something they themselves are saying.

Most people post a quotation from a fellow FReeper in italics.

Some *splat* or **double splat** with asterisks, but mostly it's italics

Now as an example in post #154 you quoted me, in italics like so: Null and void: "Translation: the tax payers will get stuck with the bill."

But then, typically, you attributed what I said to nicmarlo, and demanded that she defend my words that you put in her mouth.

I also note that although you quoted me by screen name, you somehow neglected to ping me. I'm certain that this is an oversight on your part, I wouldn't want to think that you were deliberately violating the rules of netiquette.
