Thanks for the example.
Reading their editorial material it is quite clear that:
1. Their problems came out of political difference between the
psycologists and the doctors
2. There is no indication that the peer-review aspects caused any
problems at all.
3. There are now many successful e-journals with post-publication peer
review, notably Psycoloquy
4. This does not touch upon the review-board/e-journal debate.
Regards.
