The orginal article didn't make it to my site (I did see
a followup correction which indicated the gist of the original)

The correlation of measurements at distant locations CANNOT be used
to send information between them. The distribution of measurements
at either location is the same, regardless of the state of the other
measuring device. It is only after the fact, when the measurements are
compared, that a correlation between them can be observed. Of course,
this correlation can be inferred - "I measured 'up', therefore he measured
'down', IF HE IS MEASURING ALONG THIS AXIS", but there is no way to know
whether he is making this measurement or not. Maybe he went home!

This is really no different than synchronizing clocks from a common
source. It's the philosophy that's befuddling, not the physics.
