[Imc-aotearoa-ed] vicotr phones home?

[Brian van Dam]

Kia Ora All,
                        And, to cap the day off, it seems Victor has 
finally made contact. I assume he got my contact details off the Akld 
contact subpage on the indysite, and I got a phonecall asking for a fax 
number. The person did not identify themselves (I asked), but said they 
wanted an article removed, and needed a fax because he had no e-mail 
access and was overseas (???)...

Anyway, I gave a fax number and a few minutes later I get a sheet with 
the request:

``Please remove (star in a circle symbol) as I have made an error's with 
out my glasses
    A. Adams''

which is on a print out of one of the Nexus articles with two comments 
starred with the symbol mentioned above.

I have tracked down the article and comments - the article is at:
http://www.indymedia.org.nz/front.php3?article_id=674&group=webcast

with the two comments that A Adams has asked be removed are at:
http://www.indymedia.org.nz/display.php3?article_id=676&group=webcast

and

http://www.indymedia.org.nz/display.php3?article_id=685&group=webcast

This raises an interesting issue - we have no way of verifying if the 
person who faxed me is the author of either article or comments, so what 
do we do? I would suggest that if the author (or anyone) feels there is 
a mistake in the two comments they should post another comment 
correcting the mistake (actually, the fax shows small typo corrections - 
so I don;t think A Adams has a substantial complaint about the comments 
- one of wbich is essentially frivolous anyway).

Thoughts anyone?

Cheers,
                Brian.
