I'd go much further, and say that one should be very
suspicious of everything one reads on the internet,
including warnings to be suspicious about what one
reads on the internet!  :)

Here's a "true" quote that popped into my head when I was
down at the barn.  One of the barn cats is named "Ovid",
and he "greeted" me by snaking around my ankles, a quote
from the real Ovid surfaced from the dim memories of
long-forgotten reading assignments:

        "How little you know about the age you
        live in if you fancy that honey is
        sweeter than cash in hand".

This is not some bogus out-of-context quote at all.
As I remember, the discussion was of "offerings", and
Ovid's friend was pointing out the "realities of
modern life", circa 350 BC.

Some things never change.  :)
