Betcha Okrent saw how the blogs were screaming, and had a hand in this decision. "Okrent's Blog" The Columnists Correction Page Parody and The Times Readers (and others) upset with The Times for sending a cease-and-desist notice to the creator of a parody "corrections page" aimed at the paper's Op-Ed columnists can relax. The following letter -- to Robert Cox of thenationaldebate.com, who created the page, and to his internet service provider -- was sent out by Times lawyers today: Thank you for responding to our complaint. By adding the bold-faced disclaimer at the top of the faux Columnist Corrections Page, you are no longer confusing readers and as a result of this change, we agree that the page is now a parody which is protected under the First Amendment. We are copying Verio on this e-mail in order to inform them that we no longer have any objections to your site. forums.nytimes.com
