Everyone stand behind their ideas, if they didn't, no doubt they wouldn't be their ideas in the first place- the trick is to give a little more evidence than just that you, yourself, are behind whatever it is you happen to think or say. You can get into a lot of trouble standing behind ideas that have no basis in fact...

Not denigrating your opinion, DMA, just suggesting a grammatical change. I appreciate your thoughts on the posting style here. Have a good day.

Looks like you were correct in your original usage. To add 'from' to 'whence' is redundant. From the 1874 Webster's Unabridged Dictionary.

Whence, adj.

1. From what place; hence, from what or which source, origin, antecedent, premise, and the like; how - used interrogatively.

Whence hath this man his wisdom? Matt. xiii 34
Whence and what art thou? Milton
