    Hi Scott,

    > Moderation is good only in moderation.

    Cool, I like that...
    How about:

    `Common sense is not so common.'

    Unfortunately, I forgot who said that (perhaps Bertrand Russell?)

    Does anyone know other powerful one-liners?

    BTW, remember that the more powerful the phrase
    is the higher its potential success as a meme....

    Philip.
