The good news: I'm 90% (I think) done with a piece on the economics of open access that will be the April 2015 Cites & Insights, and--although it's scattered all over the place (it's a roundup, but with a lot more of my own comments than I originally expected)--I think it's pretty good.
The bad news: with another seven articles to go, I'm already at 29,000 words, which would make this essay run to 38 or 40 pages or more. Not sure I want that big an issue; I've been aiming for 24- to 28-page issues this year. Oh well, maybe I can edit the s**t out of it.

(The worse news: I had to include at least one piece by Joseph Esposito--of three I'd tagged--and am realizing just how...well, I find the word "snotty" applies--his writing actually is. Much more so than Kent Anderson, for example.)

That is a good word. For me, he comes across as a know-it-all.

You mean he doesn't know it all? You'd never guess. I started out with "condescending," but the ledes in two posts pushed me over the line.
