Various people said [edited, but trying to retain meaning and phrasing]:
1) Books on the AAT are reviewed only for grammatical content by her
editors, NOT for the science contained there-in.
Unlike the scientific papers on the subject [see listing below].
2) Ms Morgan does not get invited to PA meetings.
So how do you think "The AAT: Fact or Fiction" came to be written? Osmosis?
3) AAT stuff does not get serious peer-review.
There are no, or few, "authoritative" papers for references.
See the listing below.
4) Ms. Morgan is ignored by the professional community.
<sarcasm> Apart from the odd few fringe weirdos, of course. Utterly
ignored by the "professionals" such as yourselves in this group as well,
which is why the AAT is never discussed here. </sarcasm>

<rant> Obviously, I have been avoiding this group for too long. I thought
I had knocked this one on the head. It seems that either new clueless
people have joined or the old ones have forgotten the facts again.

Here is a copy of some web pages I made:
[Note that neither page is a comprehensive list, they are just the ones I
personally kow about. There are quite possibly many others. These are alos
only the pages on "Morgan Papers & Books" and "Misc AAT Papers". There
are a few other pages of relevant references you may wish to look at. If
you are interested I advise you to look at:
http://www.brad.ac.uk/~dmorgan/aat/aat_refs.html
Please email me the details of any other relevant papers you know of.]
