this will be: The Give-Away literature will be free at last online, in one global, interlinked virtual
library (see <http://www.cogsci.soton.ac.uk/~harnad/citation.html>), and its QC/C expenses will be
paid for up-front, out of the S/L/P savings. The only question is: When? This piece is written in the
hope of wiping the potential smirk off Posterity's face by persuading the academic cavalry, now that
they have been led to the waters of self-archiving, that they should just go ahead and drink!
