Most of it's boring

Oral...health

Olivia Madison informs me that Journal of Oral Health and Dental Science is inclined to spew all manner of shit related to the subject of oral health onto the interwebz. It's not a field in which I can claim much in the way of expertise. For sure, I brush my teeth morning and bedtime, and I use mouthwash; but my flossing routine is, quite frankly, shameful. (embarrassed)

To add to the confusion, Olivia cites past work of mine with absolutely no bearing on oral health whatsoever. So I thought I'd seek clarification.

I don't expect her to understand the question, let alone furnish a meaningful response.

Olivia obviously considers my financial scientific contribution to her webcomic to be so important, that she's included not one but two tracking images—one of which has been hidden by setting alt="none" (rolleyes)—to ensure my having read her request.

Dear Olivia Madison, Thank you for your invitation to publish my upcoming eminent research in your auspicious journal. If I may be so bold, might I enquire what it is about my work entitled "[completely irrelevant to the field of oral health]" that you consider to be relevant to the field of oral health? Thank you for your enlightenment. Sincerely,

Now, according to Olivia, JOHDS gather contribution on oral health. She claims to welcome suggestions for making [the webcomic] to accomplish its goal, but I don't think she's really interested in critical review, or suggestions for that matter. Just contributed manuscripts, because those mean money.

I get the feeling that, much like Francis Barin, Olivia doesn't monitor her inbox for replies. Which is why JOHDS only accepts submissions online. It means, of course, that my chances of enlightenment are even more remote than I first supposed. After all, she cannot understand a question that she doesn't even read in the first place.

Like Roisin Clarke, Olivia wraps her hiddenalt="none"—tracking image with inline CSS, and then doubles-down by wrapping it in a hidden DIV element. This may've been what past skeevy shits have done. I don't know, I wasn't paying enough attention.

It still begs the question as to why the ALT attribute is so incompetently misused in the first place, rather than simply leaving it empty or omitting it altogether.* That shall just remain one of life's great mysteries, I guess. Nevertheless, the brazen incompetence over such HTML basics is most risible; if only in a I-need-to-get-a-life way.

<div style="display:none;" title="main_none" class="read_track"> <img src="http://medschoinvention.biz/mm_t3/tracking.php?tc=[snip]" style="display:none;" alt="none" />[snip] </div>

* The inclusion of the ALT attribute to the IMG element is a requirement for valid HTML, even if it's set to empty. However, strict validity is something that hardly applies to email in general, and I can't see skeevy spammers in particular giving a damn.


Olivia Madison's still panhandling for JOHDS. This is the third time in a week. The poor bitch's clearly desperate.

The tracking image's domain is different to her previous messages, but the Reply-To address isn't. And the upload domain is clearly the same as that used by Amelia Williams. It's probably also the same in her previous messages, but only in this one is the actual URL given in the human-readable text; and I didn't pay too much attention to the source code in the others, since deleted.

Overall, not a lot of note in this missive, other than the same old, same old.

Same shit, different day…and domain. This time it's journalsclub.online, which redirects to Scholarena.

I really don't understand the point of maintaining different domains for online submission, and redirecting them; especially since Olivia's using the same Reply-To address. Hey ho.
