<div style="">May I suggest, though, that such postings should not go to the GOAL, BOAI or SPARC lists? Please keep such brilliant ideas to the library lists.</div>

<div style="">And please don't reply that "it's just one factor in our cancelation equation." There's no need for the OA community to hear about librarians' struggles with their serials budgets when it's at the expense of OA.</div>

<div>It's hard to know how to respond to this. I guess I'll say simply that I'm dumbfounded at this blatant attempt to stifle any discussion of OA in anything other than cheerleading mode. If we can't talk about all the downstream implications (whether positive,
negative, or mixed) of the various publishing models and options that are on the table, then it's hard to see how we're going to come up with sustainable, fair, and widely-beneficial solutions. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>All of us have a stake in this conversation. I trust the moderators of these listservs will resist Stevan's call to silence those stakeholders who fail to support unreservedly and uncriticially the one model that he favors. A policy of prior restraint
doesn't strike me as terribly consistent with the goals of OA.</div>
