Question on journal use

Dear Julie,

Even if publishers are Counter-compliant, it is _not_ yet 
possible to compare publishers!

See Philip M Davis's article, at:

df/cs.IR/0602060

At the moment, the "comparable" part of the
Counter motto is a 
goal still to be acheived.

privately to direct attention to the cited article.)
