Anything I say here can be freely quoted, whether or not I
want it to be quoted. I'd expect my professional colleagues
to do me the courtesy of quoting me correctly and in
context, and attributing the quote to me, but I wouldn't be
surprised if that occasionally doesn't happen.

My reply
You said it Geoff! I'd also appreciate the same courtesy with the spoken
word. When the workplace is gossipy, sometimes your words are distorted in
order to fit the teller's agenda. There can be an impact to me that
happens *only* because I am incorrectly quoted.
