I did have plenty of good things to say when Elsevier declared that they endorsed immediate, unembargoed Green OA self-archiving by their authors in 2004: http://bit.ly/ElsevAngels And I've kept saying good things across the years since then until Elsevier introduced the "you may if you wish but not if you must" clause in 2011: http://openaccess.eprints.org/index.php?/archives/822-.html And as soon as Elsevier retires that piece of self-contradictory double-talk from their endorsement of author self-archiving I will again have nothing but good things to say about Elsevier (on OA).
