The stealthy ho
From toccri.com to toaccr.com. Annals of Clinical Case Reports is an stupendous source of information…every day across the world.
Apparently. It's also a megajournal
, specialising in medical case reports. Not unlike Mega Journal of Case Reports. (rolleyes)

Annals of Clinical Case Reports
Although Victoria Williams doesn't use the standard email signature text used by the other hoes at 820 El Camino Real, Annals of Clinical Case Reports is shat out onto the interwebz by Remedy Publications LLC/Pvt. Ltd, putting her in the Belmont bordello—or the Hyderabad whorehouse—along with Rene Brinley. Which is interesting, because Vicky's note arrived in my inbox around the same time as Rene's most recent.
Like Rene, Vicky's using a supposedly genuine domain name in the From header, because it's also the basis for the campaign tracker (toaccr.com). It does, however, differ from both her receiving mail domain (accrjoa.com), and the journal's website domain (anncaserep.com). Such a bewildering array of domain names is pretty much a hallmark of predatory publishing houses.
Annals of Clinical Case Reports acknowledges my excellence and expertise in the field of medicine. Which is baffling, but presumably why my case reports are so sought after by both them and Rene's Clinical Case Reports International. Who'd've thunk it? Certainly not me!

Just to show that I'm not that special, after all.

<img width="1" height="1" src="http://64.137.72.221/mail/index.php/campaigns/fr48027tnq80c/track-opening/[snip]" alt="" />Last August, Victoria Williams was panhandling on behalf of ACCR volume 10, now she's working on volume 9. Huh? (confused)
I would ask her why her webcomic's volume numbering seems to be decrementing, rather incrementing; but I doubt she'd understand the question, let alone be able to furnish a coherent reply.

But I couldn't meet her deadline of two years ago, even if I wanted to. And I don't.

And as I was posting that, this popped into my inbox. I figured that it was a revision to correct the earlier time-travel problem with the August 2021 deadline. But, no, this is the same as before; the only differences being the timestamp and the campaign identifier in the tracking image URL. (SMH)
If you don't tell her, I wont either.
