Re: Springer blasts Open Choice criticism

And $700 (U.S.) would buy less than a week's worth of a copyeditor's
time--and that's assuming that you paid them "under the table" without
deductions for Social Security, taxes, etc.  And who would "mind" the
software?  A robot?  In an unheated abandoned shed?

I think you've missed the point about publishers' costs.  They are mostly
to do with people, not software
