Of *course* it matters when you are misquoted on Usenet. How would
you feel if you were misquoted in a scientific journal? Sarah Pallas
didn't single out anyone to "tell off"; she simply pointed out such
sloppy editing is improper. I get *very* angry when I see my name
attributed to something I didn't write.
