Putting something in quotes doesn't imply that the person you are writing to said it. When your making a statement about a specific phrase or collection of words its fairly standard practice to put quotes around the phrase. If I'm quoting you everyone will know it. I'll write something like "you said..." or "Buddy said..." (and note the quotes around those terms, notice how they don't imply that I think you said "you said", or "Buddy said") or I'll put it in italics in and reply to it right after the italics. That having been said, while you didn't use those words, or words with that exact meaning, its not like you didn't say anything that vaguely resembling that statement. Re: "part time workers where never recorded as unemployed" Thought they were (before LBJ's administration changed the methodology). Message 25312787 "Thought they where" is not "they where", your not stating any certainty or implying that you have evidence, but it expresses the same idea in a much weaker form. Also you don't directly say "in the headline US government unemployment rate", but that's fairly obviously what your talking about.
