If I'd simply quoted Roy-written text or linked to it, you would not
have looked, your automatic belief in everything Roy says would have
kicked in.
By just citing the original article, I was giving you a chance to read
it, and be puzzled why I would mention since an innocent story as if
there was something significant. I figured that you would express that
puzzlement, Roy would see that and jump in, and demonstrate how loony he
actually is, in a way that even you might see as looney.
