Exonerating Michael Kidney - A Fresh Look at Old Myths

[drstrange169]

Hello Tom,

Just a proof reading observation, in your notes you cite the "cab" story as deriving from the Daily News Oct 3. I believe it might actually have been in the Daily News Oct 4.

Hi Dusty. Blame my editor.

Yours truly,

Hi Dusty,

Blame the time zones. When it was October 4 in London it was probably still October 3 in the States.

Don.

There you go! That's the kind of stuff editors were made of. Shame you couldn't bail me out of that 'stationary' jam a couple years back.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

That's OK Don, it was the 5th here in Australia.

Did the next best thing and brought Caz, who had spotted it, onto the team. As a serious point -- and I'm not implicating you -- too often when editors clean up copy and bad spellings the authors never learn from their errors. Again, not including you because you've always been gracious, but authors always seem to reap the glory, even when an editor made chicken salad from chicken feathers.

Anyway, we are both guilty of deflecting discussion from your Kidney article, which is worth reading.

Good morning, Fisherman !
