Publication in a peer reviewed math journal meant absolutely NOTHING to

Absolutely right. Peer review is a means, not an end. If peer review
fails to spot bogus papers, they're still bogus. That your paper was
accepted shows that the journal's reviewing was inadequate.

Well either this newsgroup will get down on its knees and beg for
forgiveness for destroying that journal

Wait; I'm confused here. JSH has claimed credit for "destroying" the
journal.

or sci.math will cease to exist.

You know, I'm still waiting for that end-of-civilization thingee that
you prophesized about, on February 12 of this year. Did I miss that?

Some of you Usenetters forget that you get to post for free because a
lot of other people are paying the bills.

Seems to me that sci.math is giving a lot of reason to re-think the
current system.

Gotcha.

You people just don't think far enough ahead.

Part of the endgame is not only the end of sci.math but changing all of
Usenet.

Free is not always good.

So I assume JSH is paying for his access? (If he's using Google Groups,
he isn't, though, since Google Mail is free.)

JSH pays so that he can post his garbage. Others, who refute the
garbage, don't have to pay.

Seems fair to me.
