That I was using it in the plural and not necessarily "you" yourself.. but I need to be more careful. "One might assume" is more what I meant.

But it's been part of my sig line at least since DU3 if it wasn't already part in DU2.

And yet, it's attacking "waiting for the revolution" and dwelling on the broken system. Because I use mobile I rarely see signatures. I was worried someone might take it as an attack on the use of the words. Unless they actually Googled "Judy Harrow".
