Are you sure you understand what quote mining is? It's not finding cases in which figures of authority agree with you or cases in which your opponents agree with you. It's using quotes out of context to misrepresent the views of the person quoted. It's a common creationist tactic. Darwin says evolution of the eye looks impossible, but here's how it could happen. The quote miner says, Darwin himself admitted evolution of the eye is impossible. In other words it's a rather ugly way of lying. http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Quote_mining

I know, Jenny. I'm intentionally using the phrase facetiously because some people object to the use of "proof-texts". The fact is that none of us have time to read as much as we would like. Highlighting the relevant passages is actually useful, but there will always be those who object.
