[Cnidaria] Corrections to Nando's last statements

[Horia Galea]

I would like to bring some useful corrections to the wrong statements made by Nando in his last post. In fact, he refers to my report published in Zootaxa 1597: 1-116, 2007. At the moment of its publication, the Editor in Chief sent me, as usually, a PDF file for my personal use. This time, he asked me to not share the PDF with other people (he never did it before or regarding my other papers published in Zootaxa). He simply explained to me that the journal may experience some financial difficulties in the future if they fail to sold the bulk of their publications. I have forwarded to Nando that email, but he is visibly dishonest affirming that I was encouraged to sign a form promising to not share the document. In my humble opinion, this is a very nice example of voluntary distortion of the truth!

 

Incidentally, for Nando's information: Zootaxa considers reports of more than 60 pages as monographs, not as "papers". I thought to detect a slightly contemptuously mark in that word.
