There is something strange about Ted Pease.
He says he is "WORDmeister & Professor of Interesting Stuff Utah State University in Logan, Utah. To amuse himself and the rest of us, he sends out quotes he finds or that are submitted to him.
This is one he sent out recently:
"We have no regrets on leaving Idaho Falls or discontinuing our [news]paper work here. We used our best endeavors to establish an organ of democracy, but found it to be far from remunerative, and in these days glory will not provide sustenance for the inner man.”
-- Charles P. Diehl, editor-publisher, the Idaho Falls Times, April 24, 1903.
Pease attributes "alert WORDster" Dean Miller with the find.
If your in-basket is not already overcrowded with get-rich schemes and tonics to make different parts of your anatomy grow, you can ask Pease to send you e-mail by sending an e-mail with the word “subscribe” in the subject field to tpease@cc.usu.edu.
Later, after you come to your senses, you can make him stop by sending an e-mail that says "unsubscribe."
