The Deseret News ran Patrick's press release, which of course was accurate. The Trib ran the inaccurate AP story. Hope they have the moxie to run a correction that points out Patrick is NOT to blame for the error (and that gets his title right). -- Joe, whose heart is still with the DN. --- On Mon, 6/21/10, Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com> wrote: From: Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com> Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Augh To: "Utah Astronomy" <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Date: Monday, June 21, 2010, 12:40 AM On 21 Jun 2010, at 00:28, Josephine Grahn wrote:

LOL! But if I'd done it a few minutes ago I probably would have shredded everything as I put it in the washer. :)
Seriously, I do understand the pain and frustration that this brings, especially to someone like you who spends so much time trying to bring accurate facts to everyone. :( sorry.
Thanks. I'm just really grateful to the guy I spoke with at the AP. I spoke with him at 11:55 and he just emailed me saying the corrected story went out at 12:09. Now I just have to hope that everyone who ran the original story will see the corrected version and run it. patrick (some calmer now) _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php Visit the Wiki: http://www.utahastronomy.com
