We need to be careful with the sarcastic comments. Those words will be picked up as direct quotes attributable to us. I have experience with this sort of thing working with hostile groups when I was employed by the ODNR. Please Keep the sarcasm private, preferably spoken and not in print anywhere.

There are always fools, and we need not let them drive the bus.



Well put Anne, but the problem is that people DO let fools drive the bus. To parody your grandfather's famous poem one of those fools could, if he had the necessary ability, write

I think that I shall never see
A man who's cleverer than me
I'll show I'm cleverest of all
I'll build a great enormous wall.

For people who don't get this reference here is a wikipedia reference to the poem Anne's grandfather wrote.
