The ECC VII Quote Board

Now that ECC VII is over, it is time to finally post the (in)famous
Quote Board quotes! While not as many quotes as in the past (many
people were either too caught up in games to break away to write
what they heard, or didn't want to leave their games for fear of
missing more good lines that wouldn't get recorded), there are some
very good ones in here. No doubt some will surface from people's
memory while reading these. Also, the game/scenario/circumstances
that the quote was said in will be noted in square brackets or
parentheses (or both ;-) if it was noted with the quote (or I knew
of the situation/game in question ;-).

So, without further ramblings, enjoy!
