its not just the style in submission.... its also the google doc itself that I have a problem with...
HAS ANYBODY noticed that its not democratic document... its autocratic... does not let you right click on its content... like when we ggo to the google group old style... we could highlight the name of the plant or its binomial and right click to do google search... no so in the google doc... also have you explored if all the google docs are our own property or does it become property of google...?? i am concerned... what I write is always my own compilation, my thoughts, my english syntax... and in technical discussion there is only so much originality... if google owns what I write in these google groups... then when I want to use my own writing WOULD IT MEAN I AM PLAGIARIZING MY OWN WRITING OR or WILL THEY SAY i AM IMFRINGING one their COPYRIGHT (OF MY OWN ORIGINAL WRITING ???) .... iN THE DAYS GONE BY COMPUSERVE AND IBM HAD SOME SUCH PROBLEMS... WE MUST BE CAREFUL AND THINK CLEARLY ABOUT ALL ISSUES AND ALL MEMEBRS ... I REPEAT ALL ... ISSUES CAREFULLY... NOT JUST THE QUANTITY OF TRAFFIC... THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE YOUNG, LIKE paNKAJ, rITESH, vIJAY, rATHIN, bALKAR, aLOK , ETC AND YOUR RESUME/CV AND HENCE ADVANCEMENT IN LIFE DEPENDS ON YOUR SCIENTIFIC PAPERS MUST ALSO THINK ABOUT THIS..... IT MAY IMPINGE ON YOUR RIGHTS OF PUBLICATION .. USHA DI ===== On Sun, Mar 25, 2012 at 2:57 PM, Gurcharan Singh <[email protected]> wrote: > Yes Dinesh ji > You are right in your assessment.
