I apologize, I misunderstood, I thought you were asserting that from your position on the editorial board and were seeking a response from people here. I must have misread. I don't think that you should feel bad about this, it is an honest mistake, the conferences are meant to be broadly appealing and the journal does seem real enough, one of my colleagues at Virginia Tech published an article in it apparently. The key to preventing the circulation of this 'conference spam' is to just send out conference information about the conferences in which you have relationships with or are familiar with, that's a guideline that I tend to follow.

Brenda and all, I did the same, and since the entire issue started to seem pretty bizarre, I wanted to give them the opportunity to explain their position in this matter (apparently, there is an "Indian Institute of Technology" behind as well....) Jeremy, I do not entirely understand why you mention "Let us take a moment to consider your journal". It is not my journal, I'm not part of the editorial board and I have never published there. On the other hand it is true that I received the call for papers and circulated it to the list. Thus, in any case, I feel bad because I have contributed to circulate conference spam as Elijah named them. I still keep a slight hope that someone from the editorial board will explain their position. At this point everything indicates that they are not trustworthy. HGZ
