The proper attribution was cut off the top, but the ' ' makes it
clear to a human reader that the statement was from a previous
article.

We disagree on that point. If it says "Morgans wrote:" then it has my
words, it is attributed to me. The number of "'s" makes it possible for
a knowledgeable reader to tell it was not me, but it may not be clear for
the inexperienced "newsgroupie." g

It is still incorrect practice, and I might have let it go, had the
statement been less of an abomination, or the writer a less of a moron. As
it was, (both) I felt the need to object, and I did.

Clear enough? See, we can disagree, here in the groups, without it
resulting in insults and name-calling. :-)
