Sorry, I didn't write that passage.

I don't work for a corporation.
I've never used MS Exchange.  (I use Eudora, pine, elm, FirstClass, AOL and
Netscape.  That's enough.)

Kent Newton wrote the passage you attributed to me.

I  -quoted-  Kent's message.  The attribution was clear:

   Kent Newton quoted Richard's signature and wrote:
   >>Richard Mateosian                       Freelance Technical Writer
   >>Review Editor, IEEE Micro                  http://www.c2.org/~srm/
   >>President, Berkeley STC                  Copyright 1996 srm -at- c2 -dot- org

After quoting Kent, I added a line of advice.  Obviously it bears repeating:

>Perhaps we should all take time to  -look-  at what we're
>quoting before we make judgements about it

Amen.
