Great, victim of the re-re-re-re-recycling "news" cycle of the
Internet.  News was so much more reliable when Uncle Walter just read
it every evening! :-)

This is a good opportunity to ask this question: What's the best way
to get clarifications out there?  By that, I mean, what effectively
puts the clarification in front of the most eyeballs?  What's most
effective to be seen by people Googling?

I'm thinking the answer isn't to post the same correction on two dozen
different web sites.
