I would like to generalize this to include Springer and Bertelsmann
(which, I think, includes Springer now). I haven't had any dealings with
any of them since about 1995. They are evil and the sooner we get rid of
them the better. About a month ago, I asked Springer about permission to
reprint something from about 1980 if I recall properly. Not even the
courtesy of a refusal. We are doing out bit with TAC, but why can't the
mathematical community as a whole see the damage that is being done to our
profession?

An ostrich is more intelligent than the average congressman. The
ostrich does not bury its head in the sand.
