[seqfan] Re: Listing articles under links

[Charles Greathouse]

The trouble is that right now that distinction isn't made, so if the change
was made many -- maybe even most! -- would become definitionally invalid.

I actually think that this is probably the right way to go, that the
distinction between a peer-reviewed paper vs. some resource is a valuable
one, but this would take a great deal of effort to get right.
