   To update...someone reading these postings via inklings.io   
   sent me an address for Anderson that worked and resulted in   
   a prompt reply.   
      
   Apparently the 2004 text note is frozen as-is because   
   Hammond & Scull are now responsible for such things but   
   the history of the Ballantine text remains more complex   
   than stated in the still-reprinted note and this still   
   needs to be corrected.   
      
   Do H&S read here these days?   
   Or should HarperCollins be approached?
