Not surprising, I'm still looking for more sources of info myself.  
Retailers will tell you anything if it makes a sale.

Btw, I have a nifty chrome ringed Pentax L39(UV) SMC filter I've just 
discovered has a warm tint to it. Are UV filters supposed to be clear? 
Or is that how the UV filters work, by being just warm enough to cancel 
the far blue end of the spectrum?
