Not such a bargain
Vinnie's contacted me again, offering a New Year special publication fee of only $159 to Journal of Regenerative Medicine & Biology Research. Hang on, didn't he offer me a reduction to $159 in September? And Ashley Brown offered the same deal in April, if I submitted before a specific deadline.
Hmmm, I think I've spotted a pattern here…(thinking)
This is beginning to sound a lot like one of those year-round sales
scams. Perhaps not such a bargain, after all. (shrug)

Dishonourable spammer, At the current rate of exchange, $198 is equivalent to ₹16209.25, not 5000. You expect world researchers to subsidise substandard shit from India? Fuck off!
Things must be getting desperate over at Athenaeum Scientific Publisher [sic], because $98 is the best bargain
that Vinnie's offered to date. This time, however, I've taken the opportunity to unsubscribe
from his drivel. We shall see how that works.
