Clarification

Evidently, some readers thought Tuesday's "Where was the Lehman board?" post was a copycat of a much better rendition that was originally posted Monday on the Wall Street Journal's Deals blog.

Go to http://blogs.wsj.com/deals/2008/09/15/where-was-lehmans-board if you would like to review a copy. You also can read the same exact copy that appeared online Monday in today's print edition. Odd repetition but part and parcel of this brave new world.

It was never our intention to steal someone else's idea. Or in this case, a professional journalist at a reputable publication who we like to read when there's time. Chalk up the oversight to not reviewing as many web blogs as possible. "The Garlington Report" is not our full-time job either. But that's beside the point.

To avoid future oversights, we will leave the Wall Street meltdown to the legions of reporters currently on the case. They're the pros. We're just an niche observer who likes to underscore points relevant to our audience.
