I won't dispute that what he posted is factual, because I don't have
enough information to prove otherwise (nor do I suspect it's not), I just
feel compelled to point out that you draw a causal relationship between
"read it from ERA" and "actual facts", and I object to that.

Not intended as an attack on you, Jim or anyone else. We already know
there are mistakes in print, just as there are on the web and in people's
memories. This is just an unpleasant(?) reminder.
