I am certainly not the AC that posted in the first place! And I was not looking for points, and (obviously) the AC who posted wasn't either. Why would the mods mod up my post? All it said was "mod parent up, thanks for the article"! If this is the parent poster's idea of karma whoring, then I must say: "you must be new here". At least I don't hide as an AC when a post might damage my karma. I like to call it "integrity". The parent might want to exercise a little in the future.
I genuinely could not get on to SpaceDaily. Maybe it's a problem at my end, but I found the article text useful.
And finally, I'm sorry, but how am I to know the article text is incorrect if I can't compare it to anything? Besides, if it's just a few typos, then maybe those are honest mistakes by the person who typed it up?

Thank you. I can now see the differences, while small, made (ahem) a difference to the article.

I couldn't get to the SpaceDaily article either. Thanks for posting the full article!
