Should that last clause have a NOT in it?

Bill Ferriter

Good eyes, Scott - it probably SHOULD have a not in it.

But I just looked back at the original and it wasnt there! The comma in front of the last clause was in the original too.

So
what would you do? Grammatically, that revision would make sense --
and my guess is that it was a simple proofreading glitch before
publication -- but is it right to edit someones direct quote?

Thanks for the advice,
Bill
