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.
Yeah, I'm good with a link being to an outside source.

But I didn't quote you. I copied what nic had posted. I had no idea that it was a quote from you. And I didn't demand she defend your quote, just the claim about the PDF letter.
I didn't even care about that portion, I was more interested in the claim "In the letter, Treasury agrees that the Fed can bill Treasury for any losses from the Bear Stearns deal".
Since nic is afraid to answer, maybe you'd tell us if you agree or disagree?

You're correct.
Did you ever find what you claimed I said up thread? I never saw a response to my post #124. Realize your mistake? Or just run away?
