Re: [Phys-l] E=mc^2 because E=mc^2?



Hi all-
AJP refereeing, and I have been one of the referees, is a sensitive function of the editor's ignarance and breakfast on the occasion he (not she) assigns the referee. AJP, and its sister magazines, have
been treated as personal blogs by their editors, and the credability of
their publications is much in doubt. We need more oversight and
accounatability.
Regards,
` Jack

By the way, American Journal of Physics has rejected Oas' manuscript "On the abuse and use of relativistic mass".
They should have *good reasons* for doing so.
