    On the positive side, your last name is only used four times, and to be fair, it's a lot closer to being correct than the vast majority of usages I see of my last name.

    And since the only printed copies so far are the subscribers and a handful of Gold Cup Seattle media copies, I'll definitely fix it for the rest of the print run.

    If you want, I'll send you one of the corrected ones.

    Normally, there's some stupid error that we find immediately after printing, but this was a very clean issue. I was wondering when the "mistake" was going to be found. I take the editing seriously. I apologize for the oversight.

    Actually readers of the ECG would probably agree that I do quite alright. But then the ECG is looked over multiple times, while most of my posts aren't.

    Edit: And the only reason Buzz can afford me is that I don't charge him.

    Not to mention he'd have to hire another person to double-check your "corrections". ;)

    You have a package of 20 ECGs that went out with the regular subscriptions today. There are 5 back issues that I'm out of (#3, #4, #8, #16, and I think #20). I think you may have gotten the last #6 and maybe the last #7 and #21.

    And before you ask, no. ECG#22 has yet to be published.

    Enjoy!

    yea...but I couldn't find a graphic from it I liked.

    And this coffee mug looks like it has a soccer stlye logo on it....

    I should have known that the movie quote geeks in the FCD forum would go with it...too tantilizing to not go off on a fun tangent. :D

    Yeah, but it's still my responsibility as editor. I catch all manner of screwed up names and such. As long as Dustin (and possibly his wife and mom) are the only one's bothered, I'm not to concerned. Especially because I'm sure his anger can be assuaged with 12-16 ounces of beer. :D
