No. In fact, it is you, Mr. Kamens, who have explicitly made such an
assertion. I find it rather funny that you can expose a ``fatal flaw''
in my argument by making a claim which, you later insist, is offensive.

Even if everyone in the world knew everything about journal publication,
it wouldn't have a whole lot to do with the group. The previously posted
guidelines for comp.sources.reviewed have very little in common with
journal publication except the general concept of a reviewer/referee.
Perhaps they will change radically, but that would prove that the
reviewers are failing to uphold their responsibility to the voters.
