You may have heard of spamnals. These are fake academic journals that will publish anything for money, as they plainly offer to do here. The reason somebody might submit work to one is the hope that tenure and promotion committees will assume it's real. I actually thought hygiastics was a made-up word but it seems to be a very obscure synonym for hygiene.  In any case, my amalgamation with their journal will not be attained.

Please, NO ONE try to have discourse with "Anonymous." He may be a Russian saboteur, he may be an American gremlin/troublemaker, but whoever he is, he is a

--liar
--slanderer
--ignoramus
--nincompoop

It is impossible to have any meaningful discourse with him because he is on this blog simply to sow dissension and spread malevolence.

Please help me to help Cervantes to boot this asshole off the blog by requiring registration or eliminating the "Comments" option entirely. The first option will work, I believe, because this malicious person will refuse to identify himself in any way.
