[Hilton Gibson]

So now you know what publishers think of you, you snotty little academic
brat! *Publishers take your work for free, sell it for an insane profit and
use some the proceeds not spent on yachts and private jets not only to
counteract any reform you might envision, but also to insult you at the
same time with actions and words.*
My next post will likely be about what I think academia might be going to
do about this. It’ll probably be a very, very short post.
