Agreed.  (As an aside, the site is Laurie Mann's, which is notorious for
not accepting certain browsers.)  I'd simply thought that "Lirpa Loof"
was a fan writer that I hadn't heard of, which wouldn't be surprising,
especially as I pay more attention to the pro categories.

And, I'll admit, I was paying more attention to the fact that you, Ken
and Ian had been nominated.  Ken and Ian are good friends, Ian being a
major force in getting Ken writing again, and the thought of both of
them being up for a Hugo . . .

Keith, would you please write a brief apology?  Nothing major, just
something along the lines that you'd found the information and passed it
along in good faith, or that it was a joke on your part and that you're
sorry that people were fooled.  It would simplify matters.
