HARRY WRITES IN RESPONSE TO MY IDIOT COMMENT:

> No, they are all white on blue. Who told you otherwise?

AND I SHEEPISHLY APOLOGIZE:

I was mixing up the Dutch edition with the German and Italian versions.
I've personally seen none of these, and I spoke too soon.

HARRY POINTS OUT ANOTHER MISTAKE:

AND I TRY TO PULL MY FOOT OUT OF MY MOUTH:

I'm batting a thousand.  Don informed me that he indeed added that note in
his script, so he was injecting self-deprecating humor. Now it's my turn,
and I'm not nearly as good at it.  I'm grateful to Harry for catching my
errors.  I need to go back to silent mode to avoid further confusion.

Dumb ol' Dan
