Well, thats embarrassing...

More than 2 years later and I am still finding mistakes in my PhD thesis. Usually it is just stupid spelling mistakes. This time I got the observation dates matched to the wrong radial velocities for an entire star in the appendicies. And, since I have been using the appendix data for plotting for an upcoming paper... Gee whiz, thats why the radial velocity looks like a random scatter diagram.

Bugger.

I know where all the copies of my thesis are... Wonder if it is worth emailing a correction/correct table for sticking in? The individuals involved might, but I suspect the library might be less than happy.

Arsemonkeys...

Why did they give me the degree again?

Oops...

Guess I should apologise, since I helped you check it over. For the spelling mistakes, I mean. That other stuff is all you ;-)

Oh, the table was definitely only me to blame.
I also think a number of the spelling errors were introduced while typing in other peoples corrections, so no excuses there either...:)
