Dear Walt | Martin Paul Eve | Professor of Literature, Technology and Publishing

"Dear Walt,

A response to your letter, albeit only briefly as it is late here on a Friday but I have only just seen this. I would have left it as a comment but it didn’t seem to work when I did so.

It has never been my intention to claim 'that OA just wasn’t happening in the humanities until [I] came along'. If this is the impression that I gave, then I apologise for it.

I would like to make a number of points about the article in question, though, and my practice of crediting others."
