The author is Shannon Applecine who also wrote a multi volume book on gaming history right? I recall the first book in his series also had similar problems with its Arneson references (lack of credit), but I am surprised that you would be so harsh in your criticism Aldarron?
I have an account at Wizards.com, so I might post something there about it.
What do you think of Vile's suggestions that the article might be sensored? I have seen that mentioned elsewhere as well.

I have a low tolerance for poor research by those claiming to write "histories". Yeah, this is the same fellow who published an expensive book with Wesely's name consistently spelled wrong, along with other errors or misleading statements - and that was just in the sample. Editing by Wotc may indeed have something to do witht he thief, but not that vague garbage about the Cleric.
