I stopped reading in Neuroscience, about 20 years ago, because
it had become too 'painful' to continue reading - because the work
I'd done was being 'borrowed' by Professionals, without its being
Credited.

[Don't ask me to give examples. I will, but only in-private, for
folks who'll give my work a chance, in my own name. [It's a 'line'
I've drawn in an effort to maintain my own sense of 'Decency' in
the 'light' of what I've experienced.]

I've also received many examples of such from others on the Internet.

So, I 'have a chip on my shoulder'. It won't do anything about the
'borrowing', but it has kept the 'fire' lighted, within.

It's the best that I can do, given my circumstances.

"Testing"? - I only wish someone would present a Test.

Folks've just taken the work I've done, so they can get the funding
that they need to support their Families.

That's 'alright' with me, =except= that it has 'denied' the same stuff
to me.

And the 'discontinuity' inherent is hard to 'accept'.

A man has to eat, and he has a right to expect that the work he
does can earn such.

This said, Thank You for your Cordial reply.
