RE: The House of Cards

I cannot resist agreeing strongtly with Stevan Harnad on this 
point. The Green Road and its future is anything but bleak, 
judging from the REALITY of its present and the speed of its 
progress. The gold road is progressing rapidly too as I can 
witness at close range here in Brazil where I am a guest 
professor right now. Just look at SciELO. In short, it is Mr. 
Esposito's sense of reality that is in question, not Stevan 
harnad's or mine...

I kept resisting the posting of a message that amounts to "nyah, 
nyah" but this is too rich: 25 Green OA self-archiving mandates 
by funders worldwide, including NIH, 6/7 of RCUK and ERC, and 25 
institutional mandates, including Harvard, Stanford and CERN, and 
Joe and Jan think the future of green is bleak?
