At least attendees know how it really was. Has anyone considered drafting a polite response noting the differences? Course, might not be worth the effort if they've already made up their mind to print otherwise.

I once read an article about a woman who it transpired had been emotionally abused all her life by her parents and the agony aunt advised her to take it all on the chin and forgive and forget. The online forum buzzed with our outrage on her behlaf that had she been physically or otherwise abused the advice would have been very different. The agony aunt's column abruptly stopped in that newspaper! :O)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869854312562524230.post-58123540003761393492011-05-24T10:21:08.833+01:002011-05-24T10:21:08.833+01:00That's sucky.
