For those who have expressed concern over the quotes on Peggy Robin's page,
I know in the case of the quote taken from my letter to USA Today, she says
she got it from my web page (where it also posted, in addition to LactNet).
When I said I wanted attribution, she added my name and credentials to the
quote on her WEB page.  She and her husband also have claimed three times to
me now that it is perfectly OK to quote anything off the InterNet you like,
and that it is *not* plagiarism to post quotes without attribution.  The
computer/legal folks at Texas A&M tell me both these statements are not
true, but hey, Robin and Adler are literary agents, so they're the experts,
right?  ;)
