In fact, it misses the point altogether. The issue is not whether an electronic version is available to those who subscribe to the print edition, but whether the cost to institutional subscribers could be made less crippling if the print production costs didn't have to be borne and the true economics of electronic publication were honestly revealed. The GLL's current electronic publication effort is tagged on to the print operation, so the true costs of that operation are hidden, from the editorial board as much as from anyone else. It's a similar situation (although the mechanics are different) with MLR.
