I have read your defense of your headline on this forum...and on your forum. I am curious, WHY would you edit the headline at THIS point? Not that I don't think you made the right decision, but it seems like you took an "unofficial" opinion poll, and have deigned to make the change.

Not at all. Most of this debate took place late in the day and several readers of my web site (as well as some here) made the valid point that the headline was not technically correct. I have gone back and corrected stories that were days, weeks or even months old if somebody pointed out a mistake or convinced me that I was wrong. I'm not perfect. Nobody is. If I screw up, I admit it and try to fix it.

Which brings back up the other part of my post. It would be very nice to have some way to verify any part of what Terry said. Names, dates, anything

Then kudos for your correction. One would hope that you would learn from this....and perhaps avoid, in the future, the penchant for using an editorialized HOOK for your column titles.

Great! I assume that means you will be contacting the people at
Japan Today then to get them to fix your screw up on their website as well?
