The paper 2008ApJS..175..116L comments about the QORG catalog
(2004A&A...427..387F) that it missed the new-found bright QSO SNUQSO
J003236.59-091026.2 because it "could have been in the QORG catalog,
but it appears that the quasar was mismatched to a star with i = 13.8
mag, 6'' away from SNUQSO J003236.59-091026.2.".

In fact the star in question is 13 arcsec away from the QSO. The QORG
catalog used the APM and USNO-A2.0 catalogs as sources of its optical
data. Neither source catalog displayed this QSO; in fact, they both
identified a composite encompassing both the star and the QSO. Given
this source material, QORG correctly associated the NVSS radio
detection to this composite object. So there was no mis-match.
