fringe publications are that, fringe, I like it, I feel like it's okay to have places where uncertainty can have a space, even if it invites articles that fall over the line, so, this is not a endorsement of aliens or lost ancient civilization, just hope that we can preserve some spaces that take a little risk now and again, like arXiv :)

I'm not sure what I'd think if arXiv started charging readers to view their papers on perpetual motion machines.

Maybe charge to post them.

* Add some cost to disincentivize implausible postings

* Even if it is junk, at least you are supporting the site
