It is a retraction of previously published
information. Which isn't to say a cache or
archive might not have the earlier version.

Agreed. That is a proper retraction. Proving
only that one should be skeptical of the online
press as well, particularily as information can
be retracted more easily and less transparently
than recalling and re-editing all copies of a
newspaper, for example. One does come to learn,
or fails at one's peril, which online news and
other sources of information are more credible,
and more trustworthy. You're a prankster Joe, so
one must be wary of you. ICANN is also well down
that spectrum, Jeff Williams is near the bottom. -g
