I take it, then, that you oppose the idea of a web-based special topic technical journal devoted to memory, freezing and ischemia? A pity. Question: It's my understanding that AOL, Prodigy, Pipeline, Compuserve and the rest all claim they provide access to the web. As you are posting from Compuserve, perhaps you can provide first hand information: can you access the web through Compuserve? Observation: I see you have adopted the common (and somewhat irritating) rhetorical trick of misrepresenting the position of someone you disagree with. Specifically, you represent that I advocate ending discussion of memory, freezing and ischemia in this forum. As my original suggestion included a convenient mechanism of both posting to your favorite news group and simultaneously submitting the post to the proposed web-based journal, it would seem that the major thrust of your criticism is based on an error.
