When I wrote this [1] my principle dig was at the universities, who I have long considered derelict in their duties to curate and maintain the civic cannon.

Not a single academic had the courage to reply me (or the ability to read the blatant, unsubtle sub-text). I cannot find a single institution that still counts "the global public" amongst its stakeholders. They are fully in bed with the likes of Elsevier and the project to privatise knowledge.
