   As a person who has read and enjoyed several of Ohio State CIS
   Research Center's technical reports, I would tend to disagree
   with this statement.  I think the problem might be that the
   existence of these reports is not widely known, and I would
   also think that most readers of this newsgroup would be quite
   interested in hearing what these reports have to say.  If some
   of the journal editors don't recognize the importance of this
   material, then that's an excellent reason for having an open 
   forum such as this one, where new ideas can compete freely.
