Normally I would agree with you.  Last year, I was *all* for putting
as many language quotes on the sitenotices as possible.  However, if
we are only going to have 6 quotes and they are going to be show-cased
in such a large way (as opposed to a little line below the "people
mover"), we should probably have them in the local language.
