Somehow, the author line or other identification line was sent out incorrectly and another person's name appeared on my posting. I want to make it clear that I am the sole author of the article, and that no other person had any involvement with it. I have no idea whether the other person even agrees with what I wrote. Second, in response to certain mail I received, which was ridiculous and which wasted ernie's disk space, the man whose name erroneously appeared is a different person from me, I have never met him, and there are no issue of confusion over gender. Furthermore I want to make it clear that I never used any other person's name in posting the article and I do not know how his name could possibly have ended up on my article. I was replying to an article by a woman from Indiana. I hope that an unidentified software or transmission error somewhere will has not diminished the very serious nature of my point: that underpayment of women is a widespread problem in spite of laws forbidding it, and that perks such as Christmas bonuses exacerbate the problem.

Unfortunately, I left eugene's name at the bottom and didn't notice that. Eugene corrected me, but once an article is out, I can't cancel or change it. TR]
