Everybody who is willing to pay Springer's overblown prices,when theré's so much free on the web(,see the above,which is just a snippet)is out of his mind.

Everybody who is willing to pay Springer's overblown prices,when theré's so much free on the web(,see the above,which is just a snippet)is out of his mind.

Or in need of the very specific information, and need to site it.

[doushantuo]

I perused the contents Auspex.Most of it is on the web,if you know where to look

and this:

And do i know about the ongoing legal quarrels/hassles between Springer and RG?guess

Nothing to do with the above,but handy to have:
