I suppose that I shall have to write an article for the journal
entitled "Code 4 dealing gracefully with idiotic journal names".
Our software has exception code for "THE Journal", but it still is a problem.

Eric,
Surely you must realize it was a vote. Once it was put to a vote,
under specific rules, if the rules are followed (and they were as far
as I know), then we're stuck with it, for good or evil.
Unfortunately, I think poor Jeff Davis was quite against that choice.

Here's the latest on the code4lib journal:
"/lib/dev: A Journal for Library Programmers" won the journal name
vote. (See http://www.code4lib.org/node/96 for more details.)
The idea of a journal name that contains punctuation in the title is
so breathtakingly idiotic that I can only assume that it is a
reference to the bug in the name of the computer language C++
