Not to mention that reading online is a royal *pain in butt*! If I
were you, I'd only publish select articles, those most suited to beig
reading onscreen. I find paper far more interactive than computers for
making notes, highlighting text--and cheaper and easier to store and
retrieve those articles I've marked up for my reference.
STC might be better served by a state-of-the-art journal designed
for the Web than by yet another dump.
