Okay, we are going side-track from Weigel's original query. ;-)
I personally like to directly quote people as much as possible.
Only problem is, one naturally has to edit and many a times expand on
what they have had to say about something. What methodology do you use?
You don't want to mislead people into thinking someone has said something
he never said, yet at the same time, I want to let people see exactly
who has contributed information for a answer.
Hope I was clear enough. ;-)
