[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]These folks apparently spent 4 years studying DCUM and never contacted me once. I think they made fundamental errors in their analysis. I strongly reject their primary conclusion. I also suspect that their scraping of the site may be behind some of the strange performance issues we have occasionally had. [/quote]

There's a footnote that says you ok'd them doing this. [/quote]

Sort of. See my later post where I included the email the sent me. Their email does not really represent what they ended up doing.

I read the footnote and the email Jeff posted, and based on that, in my opinion they misrepresented themselves, which is problematic and disappointing.

I think Jeff should write a response based on that alone. Regardless of any shoddiness of the research (which I think is a separate issue), the actions of the researchers at the outset were not good (at least in my opinion and based on what I've seen here). That raises significant questions about the work itself to me.[/quote]
