    Take Heed of this!

    This is just tremendous news. And thank goodness for the blockquote feature; otherwise, I would be hard-pressed to distinguish Johnsen's writing from yours.

    Use blockquotes and/or italics and quotation marks when quoting others. It is hard to remember when the commenting is running hot, but try. On a comment system without Linked Text like this one it is even more important.
