Corrections Policy

Any and all good-faith actions to request a change on this website include a real effort to contact me.

Contacting me is a much more efficient and honest way of requesting a change than bringing a lawsuit against the author(s). Going straight to a lawsuit without making any effort to contact me reveals that the persons bringing the lawsuit have malicious motives.

In the language of common sense

When you encounter something on this website that you believe is inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in need of correction, the most practical and efficient first step is to reach out to me directly. Open communication is often the quickest and most effective way to resolve issues. By contacting me, you give me the opportunity to understand your concerns, review the matter, and make any necessary changes. This approach not only saves time and resources but also fosters a spirit of cooperation and mutual respect.

Jumping straight into legal action without attempting to resolve the issue through dialogue can lead to unnecessary conflict, stress, and expense for all parties involved. Most misunderstandings or errors can be resolved amicably when both sides are willing to engage in good-faith communication. By reaching out first, without arrogance or accusations that the right to be paid for completed work-hours is a “mistake,” you demonstrate a commitment to resolving an issue constructively, which is often the best path to a fair outcome.

In the language of law and courts

From a legal perspective, good-faith efforts to resolve disputes informally are not only encouraged but are often required by courts before litigation can proceed. Many jurisdictions have laws or court rules that mandate parties to attempt to resolve disputes before filing a lawsuit. This principle is rooted in the idea that litigation should be a last resort.

By contacting me to request a change, you are fulfilling your obligation to act in good faith and provide me with an opportunity to address your concerns. Courts generally look favorably on parties who demonstrate a willingness to resolve disputes amicably. Failure to make a reasonable effort to contact me before pursuing legal action could potentially weaken your case or even result in penalties, depending on the jurisdiction and circumstances.

Additionally, many legal systems recognize the concept of "mitigation of damages," which means that parties are expected to take reasonable steps to minimize harm or resolve issues before escalating them to a legal dispute. By reaching out to me first, you are taking a responsible and legally prudent approach to addressing your concerns.
