On the Internet, no one knows you’re not John Groskopf of Vernon Hills*

chictribA Feb. 24 article that collated Internet comments in reaction to Rick Santelli’s self-described rant protesting President Barack Obama’s mortgage bailout plan included pro-Santelli remarks incorrectly attributed to “John Groskopf, Vernon Hills.” Mr. Groskopf says that he did not make those remarks, and the Tribune failed to confirm the identity of the person quoted.

Correction April 2: The headline of this post originally and incorrectly referred to John Groskop rather than John Groskopf. I regret the error. Thanks, Charlene!

    Hey, Craig: you've got a typo in the headline. You left the “f” off “Groskopf”.

    PS doesn't “Groskopf” mean “fathead”?
