I put it there cause I knew you would recognize it. 
It's unmistakable. Even if you don't know it belongs to Nabokov, you
know it ain't mine. 
Hell, my abuses of idiomatic English gives me away. 
I do something like this in every post. 


Such a mixed bunch you never know who is gonna catch you slipping, but
someone always does. I don't believe people write for themselves, but
for an audience. Trouble is, Millson's three hundred lurkers might be,
as his fascist great white hoax put it, "a bunch of martians." I wonder
if St. Jack believes in UFOs?
