Hi Bill,

Sorry bout that... I simply quoted the caption on the photo from the article and didn't think to cross check it with the red or green bibles. Was late, saw it and felt it of interest. But many thanks for the correction. Methinks their fact checkers need to check with us here before writing articles on these types of subjects.
