Am I unreasonable in expecting minor contributions to Zootaxa to be
affordable for authors as open access as a convenience for their readers? 
For instance that's USD 20 for each author in today's worst 2 page case!
Hopefully they earn (or did) much more that per hour.

Happens quite frequently - what are these contributors thinking? Should we
perhaps start a fund to help them out?
