For Prof. Shieber's remarkably patient and polite reply to Prof.
Graf's prior posting along much the same lines, see http://archiv.twoday.net/stories/5918219/
(I think Prof. Shieber's reply pretty much covers Prof. Graf.'s latest
installment too.)

There are constructive criticisms one might make of some of the
current implementational details of Harvard's policy -- http://openaccess.eprints.org/index.php?/archives/364-guid.html
  -- but certainly not the way Prof. Graf goes about it; moreover,
chances are that Prof. Graf would continue in much the same tone even
once those implementational details were fixed, since they are not the
target of his criticism.

P.S. I think I made a judgment error, as moderator, in approving Prof.
Graf's subject header, as well as the pointer to his comment on his
website. Let this be taken as notice that as of now, no subject
headers like the above one will be approved for posting in this Forum;
nor will postings, even with temperate headings, if they merely point
to intemperate postings elsewhere, as the above one does.
