Robert Paul: JSTOR
You lucky b%^%^%$#rd!!!
Why is JSTOR not free?
Do you realize how many Google scholar quests my lack of a JSTOR
subscription has foiled? Gazillions! ("Gazillions" is a marginalized
person's approximation of 5,427.)
I blame you personally, Robert Paul. Pretending to be all reasonable and
kind and welcoming and populist and loving basketball -- all the while
possessing that most elite of resources, a JSTOR free pass. Figures.
and more in the same resentful vein.
Listen: I have access to JSTOR because I DESERVE access to JSTOR. It is
part of my continuing benefits package here at Mutton, which includes
free travel and lodging expenses for the many important international
conferences I attend each year; membership in the Metropolitan Museum,
the Metropolitan Opera, and twenty Met games a year; 15% off any
family-size pizza at Italian Joe's; and a subscription to Annalen der
Physik, for my grandson.
I feel your pain.
Robert Paul
