Does anyone know where this quote came from, or who David Dunham is? I did a search for the guy, but I don't think I got the right results...

"Efficiency is intelligent laziness." -David Dunham

Thanks!

I found this webpage
http://glorantha.temppeli.org/digest/gd ... /2631.html
So I left this David Dunham a voicemail message and also sent him an email.
I'll let you know if I get a response.

And he already responded:
Quote:
Well, every time I google for it, I come up with me... I believe I first ran into the saying in the early 1980s, but I didn't remember or record the original source.

Efficiency is intelligent laziness.

That was his reply. As you can see, he uses it as a "tagline".
Based on this information, I'm thinking the quote should be attributed to anonymous.

I let David know I was going to change the attribution for this quote to anonymous and he replied:
Quote:
Fine by me! I'd much rather have credit for things I have done or said.

Okay, I changed it to Anonymous and made a note:

Thanks for the research!
