Here's an even better one.

Last month, in response to a message I posted, PT posted this:

Message 18600881

And among other things, in my response, I noted that the quote he attributed to H.G. Wells was - in the unmistakably ersatz intellectual style that seems to characterize the majority of vociferous message board posters - in fact, written by Desiderius Erasmus.

Message 18602499

He responded by saying, essentially, oh no - H.G Wells did indeed include that quote in a book.

Message 18602644

I...see. An aggressively licentious approach, to say the least. In that case, though, I'm compelled to re-credit the following quotes:

"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."
- A doorman in my building

"Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country."
- Mr. G., 8th grade history teacher

"I shall return."
- A business associate who went to use the bathroom during a boxing match at Madison Square Garden
