Correspondence: Reprimand And Penance  A Rifftides archive
browser who identifies himself only as Hank wrote to take me to
task:  I feel certain you are friends with Miller Williams. My
main comment is that if you are going to publish online his
poetry, it seems you would want to get it right. There are
numerous errors in the poem I found on this site, from
formatting to punctuation to capitalization. Not meaning to get
on your case about this, but I did notice it. I send this
respectfully.  Over the past six years, I have posted two of
friend Williams’s poems. I checked the one about Slow Drag
Pavageau, posted in 2006, and found that it was accurately
transcribed. Whew.  Hank was right to get on my case about the
other one. I plead guilty to all three of his charges. Since few
readers are likely to go back to items put up six years ago, I
apologize to Professor Williams and attempt to make restitution
by reposting the piece, complete with an added photograph and
updated links. This first ran on July 22, 2005
