Stevan, Please explain this to me one more time. How can we self-archive our published papers without breaking our legal contracts with the papers' publishers, and without risking being sued by them for breach of contract? (Of course, we may be willing to do these things, but your statement seems to suggest that we can self-archive without taking such risks.) Regards, -- Christopher D.
