Nope.  IIRC, Jacobean English first person doesn't add a suffix
onto the verb, so it's the same as modern English: "I quote".
The "eth" suffix is used for the third-person singular form of
regular verbs: "He quoteth".

Ah yes.  I forgot that some of the postings to
comp.lang.pythong are gatewayed from a mailing list.  I still
don't get why anybody would choose e-mail over an NNTP server
for stuff like this.  

I don't even use e-mail for the mailing lists I do subscribe
to: www.gmane.org.  If a mailing list refuses to be carried by
gmane, I figure I can do without it.  [There was one mailing
list of the dozen or so that I used to subscribe to that
refused to be carried by gmane. That mailing list now does
without me.]
