Gnatguy seems to be answering a question that hadn\'t got asked. I\'m convinced that he\'s in late stage dementia, so I\'m not surprised.

Sounds good to me - if we paid for it once, why should we pay more?
The catch is that if the publisher can\'t charge people to look at the article
, they have to charge the authors to cover the cost of putting the article
where it can be read.
Grant funded researchers can get the publication cost from the grant-giver,
if the grant-giver is feeling generous.
Anybody can put their work on some server for free.
No magazines needed.
But the peer-reviewed magazines have credibility that self-published nutters lack.
Sites linking to it live from advertising, like google, sciencedaily, many others.
It sucks if such a link ends in a request for 30$ or so,
The time for magazines like ELsevier has long past, I no longer subscribe to any...

As to peer review, in some cases it hinders progress, Einstein parroting comes to mind.
The peer check should already have happened at the University anyways.
Universities have internal politics. Peer reviews has to be done by people from independent institutions.
