h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hi Gosho,

I am rather surprised, and somewhat disappointed, to see that my Edited Guide Entry 'Living with a Gastrectomy: One Researcher's Experience' seems to have me down as the Editor, and you as the researcher and writer; whereas in fact I am the man who underwent the operation in the August of 1996, and the actual writer of the piece, my editor having been Dorian Gray.

Can you throw any light on how this has occurred please?

I should like to have my authorship restored, and my original editor recognised please.

Can you tell me how such a 'piracy' of my work can occur on this trustworthy site. It wasn't a neglected piece from the Underguide you understand, that would have been legitimate scavenger material , but a fully accepted Guide Entry.

Yours sincerely,

Ron J. (formerly 'frontiersman', Miner in the Underguide.)

I've no idea how my name got on that entry but it ain't there any more.

Hi Gosho,

Thanks for doing that for me, much appreciated.

Ron J
