Hi all

Accidentally I click the back page of LG #166 (https://linuxgazette.net/166/lg_backpage.html). There, it is written

"special thanks are due to Mulyadi Santosa, who brought Pete Trbovich's "Doomed to Obscurity" trenchantly funny cartoons to our attention"

I checked my Sent mail folder of Gmail and I found no such message indicating I told about that cartoon. perhaps Kat was mistakenly giving credit to me? I just don't want to steal someone else's credit

Thanks in advance for your attention...

Hey, Mulyadi, what do you mean, "accidentally" ? ;)

Oh, dear. I did indeed attribute incorrectly. Thanks and huge apologies are owed to Suramya Tomar. I'll have Ben update the page at LG, and post an additional update next month.

Thank you, Mulyadi, for all the things you do every month.

OK, here's my confession: I never read Back Page, up 'til today

To give (dis)credit where it's due, I had also missed that error; I proofed that article, and didn't catch it. All I can say is that it's been a long three days, it was almost midnight of pub day, and I was paying more attention to structure and grammar than fact checking. My apologies to Suramya as well, and I'll correct that right now.
