Dear Spike,

would you please re-post this to the Extropians list on my behalf? My
provider is still fighting with your provider, and the trouble seemed to
involve looking up a misconfigured CNAME value on my end...

Thanks,

Robert

I am bringing a professional matter to your attention as an editor.

My co-author, Dr Dwayne Day, and I investigated the plagiarism of our  
Soviet space history work (a specialty of ours) which first ran in Air  
& Space/Smithsonian in Jan 2010. The plagiarized material appeared in  
Ars Technica's website this summer, was brought to our attention, and  
investigated by us.  It has since been removed by Ars Technica, along  
with all the other work by that writer, Ms. Amy Shira Teitel.

We recently described the results of our investigation on the Space  
Review. We also showed that she plagiarized about ten other space  
historians, including the prominent author, Andy Chaikin. The website  
DVICE.com removed that article also (having to do with Lunokhod).
