I guess I have come to accept the idea that some scientific-scholarly journals charge for publication.  Hey, I have paid such fees.  However, I am uncomfortable with the idea of accelerating publication of an article based on an author's ability to pay a fee.  Does anyone else share this feeling?

TIPSfolk,

I recently had an article accepted for publication by a journal.  In the
acceptance letter, they describe charging $18 per page and having to
purchase 100 reprints in order to guarantee publication within a year.
For the article, it would be about $250ish.

Without paying, the journal describes a backlog of 5 years.
