Yours is a noble mission, well done. I don't think it's unfair to include Anointed-one. It appears to confirm my methodology. I did not start with any preconceived notion of who the winners would be. In fact, I hardly read anything from any of the sites. This is an exercise in pure, automated data collection, via Google. All the hits for all the quotes were recorded, as far as Google would take me. For a couple of Darwin quotes, Google returned a thousand web pages, and I have them all. I haven't yet tried to figure out the difference between 75 and 86, but I was partly motivated by seeing a particularly vile fabricated Darwin quote taken off a number of sites after being exposed. I think a Hall of Shame, widely publicised, will influence some of the church affiliated sites. First of all, my hat’s off to you. Yours is a noble mission, well done.

If you go to the Introduction of the QMP you will see that the original 86 quotes we ran down all came from that site. A certain creationist (who will remain Nameless) had posted Anointed-one’s list of quote mines to talk.origins, which is how the QMP started. I don’t know why only 75 are still at Anointed-one’s site … unless creationists can be embarrassed.
