Mary, I totally understand you. Once, decades ago, I was irritated in about the same way just once, when I found my russian translation of a huge article (the job took 5-6 weeks of my lifetime!) was republished to other site without giving a fuck, milking all the gratitude. just one case! and having this multiplied for year? I cant imagine the size of your frustration.

the only good thing in this mess, I guess, is that you dont feel alone crying in a desert, but a lot of folks will stand in your corner of a ring.
