Ooooh - Little Billy used a naughty word!!!
Direct citation for the misquote please.
I did not post anything claiming to be a quote from Zaumen with altered
text (other than possibly some snipping indicated by ellipses, which of

Dude, learn what quoting is. Can Zaumen not even get the elementary
things right.
Show me altered text in quote marks I posted attributed to Zaumen, or
admit you are wrong.
