Steve, I don't doubt a word of what you say. People that right science actually pay the publisher to print them. That's right, as an author, I pay to have my work published, not the other way around. Luckily, my paycheck comes in a different form, but yet part of it goes to produce those publications, without which I loose the check... Screwy world.

There is a demand for these things, but it certainly is a small demand numerically. It is a high demand individually - that is those of us that want a particular thing, want it bad.

I know what you mean about Calfee, but that is part of what I like about him. In his writing (and apparently his smithing), he is not afraid to go outside of the box. Thank god I need some variance! My colleagues (and maybe me) believe there is only one way to write anything and so we force it upon our students and other colleagues (I am an associate editor for a journal - unpaid of course), and writing Calfee-esque is verbotten. Hence, the profession is more than a little boring generally speaking.
