Q: Somebody just posted that Roman Polanski directed Star Wars.
What should I do?
A: Post the correct answer at once! We can't have people go on
believing that! Very good of you to spot this. You'll probably
be the only one to make the correction, so post as soon as you
can. No time to lose, so certainly don't wait a day, or check to
see if somebody else has made the correction. And it's not good
enough to send the message by mail. Since you're the only one who
really knows that it was Francis Coppola, you have to inform the
whole net right away!
