I have often been asked about the quotes I use when writing to the newsgroups. These come from a file called quotes.txt, and are placed under my messages by my news client, XanaNews, by some kind of random process. Although, sometimes the quotes are so appropriate, that I still suspect that Colin Wilson (the author of XanaNews) has secretly put a small, hidden artificial intelligence machine into the sources.
Anyway, many people have asked me for the quotes file. That is why I decided to publish it on my website. I will attempt to update it regularly.
The format is simple: quotes are free form, and are separated by a lines with a single . character on them. If you enhance the quote file with many new and nice quotes, I’d like you to notify me.
Have fun with it.

How do you get XanaNews to use your quote file?
You can specify the signature in the identity. In your signature, use the %sigfile% variable. My signature for my TeamB identity looks like:

Seeing the quote by PhR (about dentists) brought back memories of other Non-Tech "characters" from past years.
