> I am aware of the IMDB factoid. Since they also had my bio wrong and gave me a Bacon number of two for years, I have generally just concluded IMDB doesn't care about having accurate data, and never felt a need to correct it.

I feel like Amazon treats IMDB user submitted data just like reviews on the retail site. They just don't care. Anything goes. I've tried to get data corrected on multiple occasions for it to fall on deaf ears. Much like wikipedia where changes are reverted to previously incorrect data because of editor fiefdom turf wars. So you can't win either way.
