I understand from Jeffrey Beall that a disgruntled "publisher"
given negative scoring and included on his list implied a  threat
(I think, worded vaguely enough) to send out such a communication
far and wide.

I believe many librarians in Jeffrey's home state of
Colorado seem to have received this email, and
also librarians on his campus.

Our library's ILL account, received a curious message regarding Mr.
Beall's listing of predatory journals.  It came from a Dr. Ashok
Khuranaa [[log in to unmask]] and suggested that the Beall list is
motivated by a desire to damage a large number of journals from
developing countries and a desire to gain visibility.  We were
wondering if others have received similar communications?
