Tetrahedron's costs have nothing to do with Publisher integrity and more to do with GREED. The idea behind academia publishing is freedom of research. People who write articles for a publisher do not get paid for the article (I've been published 7 times and IEEE never paid me for what I wrote, my university paid me.) And these articles are peer reviewed, usually submitted for conferences which are paid for by the attendees and the author's themselves.
So basically you are saying that these publishers have a right to charge incredibly huge prices to protect their journalistic integrity? I think that's taken care of by the peer review (which itself is already paid for by the conference fees). What it all boils down to greed. It has nothing to do with journalistic integrity. Can you point out an article which was published that broke a publisher's career? (Academic community only please, we'll leave the tabloids out of this.)
And give it up over Tom and Nicole. The rumor has it they are both gay anyway and that was a marriage of convience. No wonder it didn't work out.
