Thread Name: Patti Smith's birthday (30 December 1946)
Subject: RE: Patti Smith's birthday (20 December 1946)
I consider it an embarrassment for a music site to have wrong birthdays of musicians in thread titles. Patti Smith, well, but I cringe when I think that Mudcat has Paul Robeson's birthday still wrong in a thread title.

There are many more embarrasing things than that now demonstrated on our forum.

But if Paul Robeson's birthdate is wrong in a thread title - then I am not to blame for this - am I?

Perhaps you would accept that this is the fault of our anonymous 'moderators'?

Who now insist on changing these thread titles - without asking my permission or seemingly checking that the information that they are recording in the thread's title is correct.

For you also complain and blame me for NOT putting the date in the thread's title.

One of the reasons I do not put the date in the thread title - is because whichever site is used - there is always some argument among the pedantic few which such details matter to about which is the correct date - so if I use the same site I will be at least be consistently wrong.

And as I can always an rely on you Wolgang to check my posts in order to find such discrepancies - and as this appears to give you pleasure - I see little need for me to do it.
