The reason that I know is that within hours of my initial posting, he emailed
me. I didn't check the exact timing, but I posted in the early morning (probably
between 7-7:30, and at 9:45 I got an email from Gary Mack stating that the
article had been corrected, and asking me to "correct" my "inaccurate" post.
No citation, and more importantly - NO EXPLANATION AT ALL for how such a
statement came to be reported.
So yes, he either reads this forum, or he's got a "friend" filling him in on
posts that mention him.
Of course, without a retraction FROM HIM, stating how this lie came about, I
certainly can't "correct" what turns out to be a perfectly correct post.
