N2  - The remaining cost of serial publication, once expenses are scaled down to the
                           electronic-only level, is low enough to render the interests of everyone -- the
                           author, the reader, the funder of the author's research, the university supporting the
                           author, and, yes, the electronic learned serial publishers -- better served by
                           recovering those costs and a fair profit at the author's end, in the form of page
                           charges (paid for by the funders of the author's research and/or the university
                           employing him to do the research, both co-beneficiaries, with the author, of the
                           widest possible unimpeded distribution of the research reported), rather than by any
                           version of reader-end payment, the latter depending as it does, on restricting
                           access to what the author and his supporters would all prefer to see as free for all.
