: Why? That would seem to be a rather abitrary cut-off point. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 20:47, 23 January 2008 (EST)

:::: What? Yes it would. That's the definition of a cutoff point. You ignore everything past the cutoff point. I'm not suggesting we ignore everything before ten years ago, I'm just asking for a recent source so this article seems current. [[User:Barikada|Barikada]] 01:29, 24 January 2008 (EST)

::::: Yes, a "cutoff point" means that you ignore everything past the cutoff point, but in context that means ignoring everything older than ten years ''when looking for a quote to add''. It doesn't mean deleting every quote in the article older than ten years, because that's not what you were suggesting. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 04:20, 24 January 2008 (EST)
