Arrgh – yes to all the above – and thanks, Rudy for your response to the craziness about Mixed Ink on the Jesse list – I hate to see this craziness going on in academic publishing. We used to joke about how 12 people read what we wrote – and how we were all waiting for the movie rights (I’m joking around – really!) – but we all knew what a peer-reviewed journal was about. I hope this is passing goofiness and they’ve got it out of their system.

That is terrible! It’s a smack in the face to everyone who conducts real research for the love of scholarship/exploration of the field and those who need to publish for tenure. Delaying someone’s legitimate publication b/c of a stunt like this could cost someone tenure. If it were a one day online april fool’s stunt, it would be one thing, but this is just bad.
