I�agree with Peter Banks.��I am one of those who believes�gold OA�won't
suceed except in small niche markets and that green OA will be the norm
in�those disciplines where OA takes hold. Nonetheless, the proponents of
gold OA should be allowed their share of the debate as it is possible
that gold OA�becomes widespread�and does NOT turn out to be the
irritating distraction that some believe it to be.

I hope we^�re not the the point of having litmus tests for OA
orthodoxy, whatever that orthodoxy might be, whether ^�full and
immediate deposit in repositories without delayed access^� or
^�full and immediate author-pays publishing^� or whatever.

It^�s discouraging and more than a little insulting to those who
believe in free access and have taken risks to accomplish it^�Jan
being only one of many--to be labeled heretics. Sometimes it seems
that this list serve exists more to define doctrinal purity than to
evangelize in support of the cause.
