I am using this case as an example. Someone removed author tags--explicitly Peter D.'s. Peter D. is currently unable to ensure that his author tags remain which he seems pretty stuck on. Removing an author tag without the consent of the author is not cool. > If this is the perception of an author's role, it provides > excellent reasons > for removing the author tag, in my view. The important thing is that it is done *with* the author's consent. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
