My quotes, if quotes they be, are never "unattributed." You managed quite easily to find what I posted, because I told you where to look, as I always do. As for out of date, whatever it was you said, I pointed out that I was piqued into looking it up by what I heard in last week's first Reith Lecture, in which the statistic I referred to was quoted by the hallowed professor

No, I found 'what you posted' because it was here on the Mudcat.

Please try to keep up.
