Stuart meant this as a private message but I'm happy to reply publicly. Given the sorry mess I unfortunately entangled her in, Dr. Carol Ammons, the editor at _Psychological Reports_ ,was great! She was patient, accommodating, and understanding. My only problem in dealing with her was that she strongly guards her privacy, and can only be contacted by regular (snail) mail--no e-mail, no fax, no telephone. Given Canada Post and cross-border mail, we're talking delivery time in years, not days. The Review of General Psychology editor was determined to publish the erratum in the March issue, and I was determined not to give permission for the mediated solution without her permission (as RGP had rejected the paper and she had accepted it). The press deadline loomed. But she did let me know in time, and I was privileged to receive her response by a telephone message she left for me. My guess is that this was an an unusual deviation from her usual policy. I appreciated it. Stephen ______________________________________________________________ Stephen L.
