So, it has taken three weeks and repeated complaints
to get an acknowledgment from Sam Sloan of an
"apparent" mistake. Rather than wait to see how
much more time goes by before he acknowledges
his mistake here, I am posting this note. Of course,
I can not post an apology on behalf of Sam Sloan.
Only he can do that.
