"you admit you're wrong and then correct yourself but don't delete the wrong information"

yeah. and, i think that's what everybody should do, too.

this isn't a reference site, it's a personal journal. i actually don't really know what the size of the audience is, but i suspect it's very small. it may be somewhat specific. i don't actually know - i don't spend any time at all sorting through those kinds of metrics.

and, there's no income source here, remember.

why do i do this, then? it's theoretically for historical value. i'll remind you that i'm a composer. did beethoven leave us a journal? if he didn't, i think we can all wish he did. 

so, i'm not talking to real, living people - i'm talking to future historians. that's my intended audience, here: people studying my music hundreds of years from now. i don't care much for real, living people.

but, the other reason i post here is because it helps me order my thoughts.

so, the errors are a part of the project, and must be retained as they are. i keep track of sources for my own benefit, not yours. but, in the end, if you find that upsetting, i'd advise you don't source from blogs, then.
