Hindawi publishes 12 other mathematics journals apart from these 
4 that were transfered to OUP. In addition, Hindawi publishes 
many engineering journals that have considerable mathematical 
content. So, my statement last week that our journals contain 
complex typeset material and not plain text only is correct, 
whether you consider it before or after the sale of these 4 
journals to OUP.
