    Getting Quoted

    I was wondering, how do the members of Webhostingtalk like being quoted? I don't mean just on the web, but in real life.

    I really enjoy when people quote me, it makes me feel quite special. 'Cept for when the repeat a joke of mine without giving credt.

    Well I think it has a great deal to do with the individual that has chosen to quote you...

    Yeah, when some newb like myself goes out and quotes you that's not much. But get someone real respectable with a high post count then you can really feel special about yourself.

    A quote is quote. The post count doesnt count.

    In the end, it all matters.

    I've never been so quoted in all my life... Thanks!

    Now someday maybe I'll actually be quoted for something that matters...

    To be totally honest, I cannot remember ever being quoted with me knowing about it. Maybe I've been quoted and I haven't know. I've no idea.

    But I don't think that I'd mind - Providing that they didn't change what I had said, and providing that they didn't quote me in a case where it made me sound bad.
