As he put it, "I have no clue about this. This email was not sent by me."

You could also search the archives of this list FOR that name and see whether he was involved in the initial condemnation.

It came from a Dr. Ashok Khuranaa [[log in to unmask]<mailto:[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? Regina University of Colorado at Boulder Head of ILL Borrowing University of Colorado Boulder
