Hopefully this will set the record straight. God alone knows how so many easily verifiable errors made their way into my article. It would almost have been funny, were it not so serious.

Which brings me on to a final thought. Perhaps Anthrax do have a right to keep their name - who am I to judge them ? I suspect that legally there is nothing any of us can do to prevent them exercising their constitutional rights to freedom of speech. However we can influence them in a more direct way - via our wallets.

Its clear that Anthrax have no intention of changing their deeply offensive name, so I am suggesting that every concerned reader of adequacy.org boycotts Anthrax until they see the error of their ways, and rename themselves. (I would accept a temporary renaming, until the Anthrax scare is over).

By bringing the huge numbers of adequacy readers together to exert economic pressure on Anthrax and their record label, we can force them to listen to our concerns.

When their sales figures plummet, we will soon see whether they are still keen to maintain their grossly offensive nomenclature.

I apologise for the factual errors in my story. I can only lay the blame squarely at the feet of the other editors at this site. They and they alone allowed the article in question to stay on the front page for such a long time. Even a cursory read by those lazy workshy goodfornothings would have revealed so many glaring errors that the article was almost a parody of poor journalism.

But on the issue of the band name ? Three words: Change it now.
