Hey DonO, I know it's a sign of advancing age and an overly sensitive skin about minutiae. The pattern you refer to is at least 30 years "younger" than the original I quoted. I get really p...ed off when some turkey doesn't have the decency to check the literature before naming a fly. Can you imagine if I threw together some materials and suddenly advertised it on the web and wrote about it in books as the Chile Pepper. Yes, it's only a fly, but a little respect for the originators of patterns is justified. I guess we just have to start copyrighting pattern names.
