> P. S. Im sending copies of this letter to several friends who are interested in journal publishing but are not members of our board. But this is not an "open letter"; I would prefer not to have my remarks circulated widely. I'm emphatically not a revolutionary. I just want our journal to do the right thing.

:/

EDIT: as others have pointed out the letter is now hosted publicly by Knuth himself.

This was his thinking in 2003. Nowadays he is publishing this in his own website at Stanford (https://cs.stanford.edu/~knuth)

I think GP is pointing out Knuth did not want this letter to become public knowledge, yet here we all are reading it.

We're reading it from Knuth's website, where he shared it.

Ah yep I misread the post I’m replying to, my bad.
