Why don't you spend my money on publishing......? sebastian's presence as a publisher's `representative' speaking on this list places him in a minority of one (with the possible exception of michael downes, whose exact status at the ams isn't clear to me). sebastian is trying to enlighten us all about the publishers' take on the future of typesetting. i, for one, can't fault his intentions, even if i disagree with some of his comments. robin
