John:
Thanks, I have no real problem with it (which was why I left his name off my
e-mail). I Just think it's important not to edit in such a way as to
significantly alter what a person says/writes, particularly by adding
comments atttributed to him which were directly opposite to the original
content. If he sees his mistake and is more careful in the future, then I
have been of service is alerting him to a potential problem. He presumably
got the message; he must follow iris-talk.
