Odd. I would have said that articles, organizational statements, blog
postings, and discussion lists are everywhere filled with commentary on
the predatory behavior of non-OA publishers. I'm not saying this is a bad
thing -- I very often agree. But if attention is being significantly
deflected from that issue by Beall's List, then the mind boggles at what
the literature would look like if his list were taken down.
