Since I posted the original posting, I have received about thirty letters
telling me that it was a Greek/Roman/Chinese/Japanese/German/Egyptian/
or whatever saying.  Now it's an Italian saying.  The truth of the matter
is that I don't know where the quote came from, I don't really care. :-)

For those of you who haven't been reading net.startrek long enough, here's
the scoop.  In ST II, Khan says "Revenge is a dish best served cold" and
he identifies it as a Klingon quote.  The discussion was about how Khan
had ever heard a Klingon quote.  Please DO NOT start discussing this again.
I am only posting this because I accidentally deleted the form letter that
I wrote to reply to all of the letters.
