Dear Colleagues,  
  
Sam Bostaph's dicta seems a bit harsh except when we remember that these   
anti-scholarship barbarians (Bostaph's "fools") are the dominant majority on   
hiring and promotion committees.  They are the ones who often decide what the   
students will hear and learn.    
  
Hopefully, the journal editors can still make a difference in their design   
and crafting of the journals.
