Ursula,
I’m not sure that anyone here disagrees with you. Don mapped out some basic problems and possible paths and Ken pointed out that some of the easy and obvious solutions are unlikely to work out as neatly as they sound like they should.
Ken also pointed out that, in addition to the labor of the authors and reviewers, there is considerable work involved in putting out a journal. I didn’t read that as an endorsement of the current state of things in academic publishing.
It’s clear that many (most?) journals cost too much and that it is a perverse outcome that universities (which, in your case, mine, and many more means taxpayers) are paying for them twice.
