<i>&gt;I was wondering whether anyone out there was enough of a type-related trivia</i><br>
<i>&gt;historian to clear up something without going to a lot of trouble.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt;There are two commonly quoted Fred. Goudy quotes re: sheep rustling. The</i><br>
<i>&gt;first (less common; I place it first only because I had read it first) is</i><br>
<i>&gt;"Anyone who would letterspace blackletter would steal sheep." The second</i><br>
<i>&gt;is the same quote except about lower case rather than blackletter. I am</i><br>
<i>&gt;inclined to believe that the first is the "real" quote and the second a</i><br>
<i>&gt;misquote. I have seen specific citation (occasion, date, etc.) on the first,</i><br>
<i>&gt;although I have not seen contemporary first person citation. Also, we are</i><br>
<i>&gt;basically conservative beings and tend to believe that whatever we saw first</i><br>
<i>&gt;is right, original, proper, etc. and any subsequent variation is wrong,</i><br>
<i>&gt;derivative, heresy, etc. (In other words, I have no idea whether I believe</i><br>
<i>&gt;it simply because it is something I believe.)</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt;I haven't made any real effort to hunt this down, so don't go to any trouble,</i><br>
<i>&gt;but if someone can answer this easily, I'd appreciate it.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt;Thanks,</i><br>
