Dear List Members,
I must apologise for hastily posting that article with no word of context wishing for it simply to serve as a useful counterpoint and perhaps as a basis for further debate.
Unfortunately, I wasn't aware of the long running disputes between the author and some of the core community members of the Open Science and Open Access working groups. Nor did I know quite how distorted some of the authors earlier pieces on a similar topic had been.
if I'd been aware of either of those things it would have caused me to think twice about posting to the list without qualification.
@William - thanks for supplying some much needed context and some other writing with more constructive perspectives!
Apologies if my posting gave the wrong impression, I appreciate how hard you guys are working to keep this sort of guff a minority opinion and in many ways the less said about TSK the better! :)
All the best,
Sam
