Asymmetrical Information

From the desk of Mindles H. Dreck:

Mistreated

I just received a copy of an article I wrote for a publication in my field. Even though this supposedly professional monthly journal has had the text for two months, they managed a) not to incorporate graphical & price updates I sent them last month and b)shortened the title. The effect of the latter change is to make me seem an imbecile.

To demonstrate how badly mangled I've been, I'll present an analogy: Imagine you are writing a golf instructional article. You send it in titled "Score Lower by Swinging Slowly". When the article is printed the title says -

Score Lower by Swinging!

Get my lawyer on the phone.
