All the editions have various errors, including the Memorial Edition,
which is the one I own.  These must be remedied on an ad hoc basis, as
one comes upon them.  Establishing a website such as my own is not simply
a matter of copying quotes one runs across.  Making corrections is an 
ongoing process.
