Yes, what I'd like to do is either edit or remove entirely:

"Gmail (Gmail account) <hjsizemore at gmail.com>"

and replace it with:

men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth--more than ruin--
more even than death. thought is subversive and revolutionary, 
destructive and terrible. thought is merciless to privilege, established
institutions, and comfortable habit. thought looks into the pit of hell
and is not afraid. thought is great and swift and free,
the light of the world, and the chief glory of man.
