Ain't touching that 'un, 'cuz I'd just spray napalm.

This Sandy fellow is quite impressed with himself. I'd comment there, but I think Barbara and Joe have things under control.

Now I see why I admire Barbara's work and avoid Scholarly Kitchen: I'm too simple-minded for those sophisticates over there at SK. That must be it...(well, it might have something to do with Ms. Fister being able to think and write eloquently, but...)
- Walt Crawford
now Sandy says peer review is what journals do, and its only purpose is conferring credentials on academics, so open access to that stuff is not needed. Author gets tenure or not - that's what we spend money for. My teeth are getting worn from gnashing.
