Roy - do not worry about your titles, and please do /not/ change them,
you're doing the right thing. The assertion that every News posting
must be perfect is insane - sometimes mistakes happen, and frankly,
probably 99% of what's on the net is untrue anyway, and certainly, the
likes of 'cc' post untruths continuously in this group, so are hardly
in a position to determine appropriate material.
Of course cc and others look for flaws - it's what they're paid to do.
Let them do it - if they want to post a correction *they can*.
