of the inaccessable papers are in the ArXiv probably does not change
this much, as the additional effort involved [from leaving ADS's unified
resource to go to another system] is a great deterrent.)

The bottom line is that the cost of the restrictive access policies, in
terms of access prevented, is larger than the access allowed.

Dear Steven,
I have been reading the discussion of the True Cost of the
Essentials; it seems to me the discussion is quibbling over pennies
when there are dollars lying around.
Basicly the entire cost of the journals is tiny compared with the
efficiencies gained by having full electronic access
, cost slightly less than the
single journal Chemical Physics Letters, and publish about five times
as many pages.
Best wishes, Michael Kurtz
