Notes
As this article was going to press, Mathy sent a letter to my dean complaining that I am unethical because, among other things, I decided to publish my article in Archives. Apparently she has also filed an ethics complaint about me with the American Psychological Association, in spite of the fact that I'm an historian (see Gsovski, 2008).
