<sigh>

In fact the quote wasn't doctored. It was cut and pasted from the ORIGINAL
version that was put on the site. After I had done that and sent it I went
back and saw they'd changed it, adding the other actor's names to the list
at the bottom as well, so presumably someone pointed out to the person
writing the article that they'd screwed up and they put it straight.

I didn't make it up, nor was it taken from anywhere else. They posted an
incorrect report and then corrected it, making me look a liar, of course.

Yeah, that sort of thing happens sometimes.  The peculiar thing is that most of
the copy is word for word the same as on the SFC site *except* for the
"produce" thing...so clearly someone there muffed it or tried to make it a
bigger story than it was in that respect.
