Neither BBS nor its publisher, Cambridge University Press, is for-profit.
There have been no repostings; some background information is included
for unfamiliar readers. Each announcement is a different abstract
(there are about 20 per year). The abstracts and calls for commentaries fall
in the same category as other announcements of meetings, conferences,
articles, calls for papers on the net. No "products" or "services" or sales
are involved. Nonprofit academic journals are not a "business."
