GREAT PEOPLE came before us…we owe the a lot and we extend our thanks for their contributions. I look forward to the day when the Advisory Group can stand is a circle, hum the tume of “We are the World, there is peace in the world between Open Access fans and detractors and more appropriate business models have entered the domain of protected chemistry data content to allow us ALL to profit for the work done by chemists worldwide. Hoohaa.

the famous quote by Newton on the surface sounds good but it was apparently a rather nasty snub directed at Hooke who had a deformation of the spine and was somewhat hunchbacked. Hooke maintained that Newton “borrowed” from his ideas and this response from Newton was an ungentlemanly attempt to rebuff this. It would not be considered politically correct nowadays! For me, this destroys all the gracious connotations of the quote and wonder if we can’t start a new one that says by including people on the advisory committee from all corners of the globe we hope to be able to see beyond the horizon ???? I’m sure you can come up with something better!
