[MR] pennsic independent

My camp was convinced it was a ploy to get extra editors.  Along the lines of "Congrats for finding all the errors. You'd make a good editor. Have you ever considered helping out?"

I also believe that it was just in jest.  I know that they have been 
ribbed a bit before about having errors in the paper.  (Hey, they are 
volunteers trying to put out a daily paper!)   And I think that this was 
a gentle ribbing back at those folks, that was perhaps misinterpretted 
as them intentionally causing errors.
