I should have been clearer: Doing peer review the way journals currently do it costs money. There are ways to do it that don't cost money, or taht at least spread the costs sufficiently that people will do it voluntarily. Tom, not at all impossible.

The academic journal business is all about the academic hierarchy game, tenure and promotion and is commanding a pretty penny for its captive contributors and audience. Once tenure and promotion committees recognize open journals, the academic journal business model heads down the same road as the aluminum-disk-coated-with-plastic business. Since the vast majority of academic research is funded through the public purse in one way or another, it's only reasonable that the public has free access to what it has paid for.
