I don't think the OTHER Joan gave any reason for you to conclude that NOT giving recognition was the proper way to go, but I think you've gotten so far off the original topic, that perhaps it's been forgotten! The above "snippet" from your post brings us back to the original point....I DIDN'T WANT CREDIT, proper or OTHERWISE!!! This guy's work was, in my opinion, SO SUBSTANDARD, that I didn't want my name associated with it!! This all started over whether he had the right to use my name as a reference....apparently, he DID have that right, but since he did NOT have the right to post my e-mails, in their entirety, he took down everything attributed to me....which, REGARDLESS of his rights, was what I wanted!!! I'm certainly not gonna direct him to this list and point out that he CAN use my name! But what started all this was that I didn't want to be associated with his work, maybe I don't have a RIGHT to NOT be associated with his work, but I DO have the RIGHT to not WANT to be, even if it seems to confuse others that I would rather allow HIM to take credit for my GOOD work, than me be associated with his mistakes!!! Thanks! Joan
