I respectfully disagree. In cases like this, if the user made a honest mistake and then issues a correction, it should be in line, at the same level as the mistake - otherwise, it's exactly like when a newspaper spreads a false accusation in the first page, and then a retraction at page 7. What sticks in the mind of the casual reader is the first untruth, not the truth that follows.

By the way, even the correction below is a untruth, because only a few other EU countries have similar laws.
