Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!

On the other hand, there are a lot of small journals that charge just enough to keep in business with volunteer or very cheap labour. If journals go to an "author pays to be published, copies are free online" model then some of the money that goes to library budgets will have to go to helping junior academics pay to be published. In other words, its not fair to criticize the whole academic publishing industry the same way. Brill is not the same sort of institution as De Re Militari or the Society of Archer-Antiquaries, even though all three publish academic works.

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have
a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
