Can publishing on the Internet be viewed upon as "publishing" in this sense? If such is the case, then I've done my duty. Han de Bruijn

Yep. It has become a poor translation of a sentence in (perfect) Dutch. That's the consequence of "Everything free comes without referee" and being a lonesome warrier. Thanks, Virgil! Be my referee, let it alone for my English! Han de Bruijn

If such is the case, then I've done my duty. Not really. As you're finding out, when you do something new, sometimes you have to raise a ruckus, to get people to listen. Ideally, you want this published in a print journal, but conferences are important for measuring the amount of interest that your paper generates. If what you've done is really important, you'll pack the room. |
