12/31/2005: "Rick Moen responds"

I mean no offence, but I do NOT endorse your view in any way. I find it
incorrect and distortive in its factual representations, and extremely
deplorable in its tone. Eric has done nothing wrong that I have seen
_at all_. Among other things, contrary to what you have stated and
implied in your mail and Web pages, Eric's copy of our essay DOES
correctly credit me as co-author, and has done so for many years.


Hey, if Rick isn't worried about the things I've pointed to, then I'm no longer worried, or even concerned.

I do find it interesting that the version of the essay sans any credit to Rick Moen is far more popular than the one that does. I also find it interesting that the two versions of the document are different, and that Rick saw fit to publish a correction "citing both author's names as owners of the document title".

But, in the end, if the situation is good enough for both Rick and Eric, then the rest of us have nothing to say.
