|content=@mike_usher I don’t fully disagree. Let’s put it this way, the [[The Arxiv|arxiv]] probably did more good than harm so I’ve been reluctant to discuss its issues. It is also part of a complex and that complex is the issue. It isn’t right to discuss it in isolation. It is part of an ecosystem. | |content=@mike_usher I don’t fully disagree.
