What we forget, we don't know - until reminded. That is one advantage of 
spending time with other practitioners. I find that the occasional quote 
from the Buddha is a welcome reminder for the wandering mind. In fact, I 
think that a few more short quotes (as part of ongoing threads) would be 
enormously beneficial.  Many off-topic posts would not even arise in the 
mind, let alone get posted.
