Todd Farmerie particularly enjoys employing this "peek a boo" style of
Genealogy. It's a CHARACTER ISSUE with him.
I understand that he is being scrupulous about not stealing someone
else's thunder -- and that is perfectly appropriate and ethical.
But he should NOT even have revealed the existence of the document -- if
he was then going to play "peek a boo" Genealogy with Richardson. What
he did is childish, not ethical and respectable -- but adolescent
"gotcha" at its worst.
David Greene's remarks are quite different and perfectly ethical and
respectable. He simply told us two reviews would be appearing -- and
that one would be in his journal.
So the two cases are quite different and not commensurate at all.

| Good question. The same question was raised by Richardson in another
| thread and Farmerie's reply was that since he was not the discoverer
| of the document it was not for him to identify it.
| There are, obviously, first-class and second-class citizens in this

| of the Document has not come forward: Why not? Is he writing an
| article and jealous of his "priority?"
| There, again, the editor of TAG tells us that there will be two
| reviews of
| Richardson's book by real "experts," one in his mag and another in
| another
| journal, but that the names of these "experts" must be withheld.
| Well, folks, I have news for you: Medieval genealogy is a very small
| pond and anyone who feels a need to be a big fish in it is to be
| pitied.
