It should be noted that article was written some time ago. The Dr who wrote it is well known.
In the early days Dr Bob did answer questions,
when the board was just starting. It is in the archives. There was no informed concent nor proof folks read the disclaimers. That all has changed, after this first became an issue. A new sign up
system, a test to prove basic understanding of issues on this site.
Without question a researcher cannot exchange personal e-mail and meet with the subjects on lecture trips out of town. Not and produce data
that will be called into question. This is not
a criticisim but a fact. Dr Bob is well meaning
and is trying to be a one man band to keep the ship afloat. I would suspect he will come up
with a solution to this issue.This whole issue, Grohol's posting, etc
has been hashed out before. It is in the archives, too.To me there are really 2 issues that Dr Grohol mentioned that have not been resolved, the research and the copyright issues. There has not
been any research since the first piece, and it was informational in nature. No real biggie here yet, to me, but serious research needs to be done by someone else. To me personally, I could care less about the copyright as this is a web page.
I suspect that some may see this differently. The whole "you get the copyright, I get full use"
seems to blow a hole right through the intent
of copyright. A grey area, perhaps. To own and control ones papers and writings seems a basic right and some may feel differently than I or others on giving this up. This is a can of worms, no ?
