This page once had copies of correspondence between myself and Matti Pitkanen, circa 1999, discussing certain aspects of practices in modern science which are more driven by the sociology of scientists than science itself, and how these practices can lead to a negative "labelling" of individuals within the science community who don't respect the genuine human/social aspects of scientific interaction. Dr. Pitkanen had approved my posting of our correspondence in 1999, but around August 2006, he objected, so I politely removed the content in October 2006.
