Here's the round-up of our very own Spartacus moment, following an Elsevier employee's unwillingness to engage on actual issues, owing to FakeElsevier's anonymity...

    Real Elsevier wants me to reveal who I am. Nice try. I know the minute I tell you, you'll dispatch the ninjas. OH NO. IT'S ALREADY TOO LATE!

Fake Elsevier

Lover of life and liver of love. Also a giant Dutch mega-corp that parasitizes scientific publishing. Be true to yourself!
