In another thread Deeej wrote to me:
Incidentally, I ought to comment on the quotation in your signature; Bill Gates denies he ever said it, and I'm inclined to believe him (it's impossible to establish when, where or to whom - if he said it to a journalist, for instance, or at a trade talk, there would be a date and location). The best you can say is that it is 'attributed' to Gates, but even then without a citation it is a rather weak attribution.
Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.
I change my signature every so often, mainly because I have never found something that is "exactly" me. So, after being chastised by Deeej now seems as good a time as any to make a change. I hope Deeej will agree that this time I have been quite zealous in identifying the provenance of the quotation. 
I am sure that my new sig will be deplored by some here (I immediately think of NW); but what Aristotle says rings true to the situation in which I live, so I'll leave it here for a while.

The paradox has often been noted that the United States, founded in secularism, is now the most religiose country in Christendom, while England, with an established church headed by its constitutional monarch, is among the least. (Richard Dawkins, 2006)
