I’ve also noticed that publishers tend to thank one politely, give an assurance that the correction will be made in the next printing, and then do nothing.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Vwoolf [mailto:vwoolf-bounces+mhussey=verizon.net@lists.osu.edu] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Sarah M.
