A recent letter to the editor1 stated that 2 cardiologists quoted in a medical newsletter used identical comments to describe their conclusions about the same drug. The publisher of the newsletter has informed us that the duplication appeared as a result of a clerical and printing error, which was subsequently corrected on the newsletter's Web site. CMAJ has since removed the comments in question from its own Web site.
