One thing which concerns me about electronic publication, and
that only occurred to after reading a couple of the posts on
this subject, is this: I have done the bulk of my research
in the tropics (I'm a coral reef ecologist; don't ask me why
I'm in Ohio now, I don't really know...). It's hard enough to
get PAPER journals there, let alone computer access to the net,
or CD-ROM readers....we in the first world often forget that
there are scientists in the third world, too, and they rely
just as we do on journals for dissemination of information.
 
I would urge the scientific community as a whole not to forget
the economic realities in the non-technological parts of the
world.

Now look inside; what do you see? That's easy: that's a pickle.
