In an e-mail note to the members of a committee (known as OSAC) which
I chair, I accidentally left several blank lines followed by the word
"It" on a line by itself at the end of the message.  After a number of
committee members called this typographical error to my attention, I
sent the following one-sentence (!) clarification:


> Dear Mr. <WITHHELD> and Esteemed members of the OSAC,
> 
>      In response to a number of queries, I have decided to respond
> formally, and inform you of the fact that the final word of my
> preceding electronic communication, known hereinafter as "It" and
> appearing several lines below the last word constituting substantive
> content of the message, appeared in error, and that that error was of
> a purely typographical, rather than a substantive, error, and should
> not be construed to alter or obviate the preceding substantive
> content of the message, nor to indicate the existence of some further
> content that was intended to be included, yet was, in fact, not
> included, due to typographical, communicative, or other error.

> P.S. Nor does it mean my nickname is "It."
