- I think the SF link should be in the info box along with his later reprint. The two copies of the article I read, (Harry, You Naughty Boy), and the 2001 one reprinted in DIAL #19, don't have it spelled that way, so I think that the note of the misspelling should have that disclaimer. --Mrs. Potato Head 15:11, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
- They later fixed it, after all it was a very obvious mistakes, but the original version that appeared online had that mistake. The article has been reprinted/republished in a lot of venues. The author got a lot of mileage out of that one. --Doro 15:23, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
