This is the problem with apologies for making a mistake. You make a statement, it’s wrong, but you don’t know it yet. The person you made the statement to has pinged everyone on their ping list. But you don’t know who they are..or how many there are. Anyway, you find out you were wrong, you apologize. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER 400 PEOPLE WHO WERE PINGED??? One at a time, they refute your already apologized for wrong answer....We need HELP here! How to do a mass apology to everyone who is on someone else’s ping list..The answer of course, is to never be wrong. But that would be impossible. At least for me..;)
I think Augustine published a book called “Retractiones”. May we all should have a section on our home page called: Ooops! And we could have “archived oopses” for previous errors. So instead of repeating the retraction one could just say, “Check my home page.”
