Dear Subscribers.
Apologies for sending this one day late, but with the help of my
trusted aide-de-camp I garnered two more quotes to the submissions and
thus turned a let down into an extravaganza! Well, not really. And
here's when I urge you to submit! Please do! Quote of the week thrives
on your cooperation!
Last week's winner was Ms. Budding as she summarized the battle of
Thermopylae:

instead, or go by way of question 7. It's entirely up to you."
- Mr. Sherry, discovering while administering his linear algebra exam
that his question numbering had gone awry
