Yes -- if it weren't for the package sales strategy, this loser with his own journal would be writing for no one but himself (and I'm sure Elsevier wouldn't pay him to do that). This is a great example of how Elsevier uses its position in the industry to extract money from universities far out of proportion to the value they provide. I hope academia gets fed up with this soon and stops paying.
