respected American museum had "removed" the photos from their website
so maybe it doesn't matter that there is no paper to accompany them and explain
what they are.< How
many people saw the specimen before the paper was published? How many people
will see it at AMNH who haven't read the paper? How many will see it who
will >never< read the paper? What possible connection does the publishing
of a paper have to do with the public display or viewing--via the internet
or otherwise--of an historical artifact? It has to
do with the RESPECT for the scientist. Their research, their work. I’ve fed up
with this attitude of we can see what ever we want when we want on the net and
SCREW everyone else who is working on it. Tracy L. Ford P. O. Box 1171 Poway Ca 92074 |
