    I identify this quote as coming from Leonard Cohen -- via some   
   google-shaded neural connections.  When google has digitized every book in   
   the world no one will be able to prove true erudition.   
      
    I could not post to abgo for over a year because of my monkeying around   
   with my mail server in April 2007 which I fixed yesterday.  My one posting I   
   sent by a very cicrcuitous  process which I did not care to repeat.
