Why then did you title it "Some very modern-sounding warnings about some
very old food" They aren't 'modern-sounding'. They're modern. Nothing
'sounding' about it.

How nice. Jim, when you post in this community, you need to follow the
conventions of the community. Not just what suits you. It has long been
the practice that when you first bring up a source, or bring one up
after a time, especially if you are leading out a post with it, you
offer the citation. Without being asked. This is just as important with
secondary sources as with primary ones.
