I am sorry to offend people here, and I am as much frustrated as anybody 
else, but the pressure and the politics of publishing around are dramatic 
(at least for people like me coming from small non-prestige 
Universities)...Unfortunately, in this same list very respected people have 
been complaining about his issues, and I ahve received emails of support for 
speaking my mind out!


I am really sorry!



Respectfully,

This is an extremely cynical attitude. It does nothing to improve anything. 
I don't have a problem with political discussion, but I do have a problem 
with pointless cynicism.
