Rick,
NIH, Howard Hughes, MRC, Wellcome Foundation and several other organizations that fund research require that published papers and materials to be freely available to whoever wants them. Considering that there are so many journals these days, no one (person or company or a lab can afford to subscribe to all. Scientific community depends on pub med and free access to journal articles. I am surprised that there is no noise about this from my colleagues and friends. Thanks and I will recruit people to send letters
