Unfortunately, some of the journals on the list weren't predatory;
yet, in some tenure cases, publications were discounted because the
journal was on the list.  If anyone picks up on this list again, I
hope the first thing the person does is check on the status of every
journal on the list.  This affects people's work lives significantly.
