finally, jim decided to update our good old huck, and it was posted with a date of 10-may-2010.
and, to reiterate this part of the story, the update was posted _not_ as a replacement for number 76, but as a completely new e-text, numbered 32325.
I deliberately chose a slightly later edition of Huck to avoid WW'er complaints. I was hopeful (forlornly) that someone would take the hint, do a word-diff between 76 and 32325, and fix the mistakes in 76. Unfortunately that hasn't happened. What this does make clear is the following: The notion that the passage of time, and having millions of eyes read a particular book results in that book getting fixed is certainly NOT true.
