--- You wrote: I was tweaked. Am I wrong? --- end of quote --- Dave, You weren't wrong at all. It is unethical to use someone's name as an author without his/her permission. I would ask the person to take your name off (you could also write to the journal and ask to have your name removed). Of course, this won't work if the paper has already been published. One of the really serious reasons that you shouldn't allow this to occur is that you could find your name on a paper that turned out to be wrong or silly (or even fraudulent). BTW, this has happened to me and I did demand that my name be taken off. People did think I was ungrateful....... Alice Alice L.
