As if to prove my point, I've been looking in-vein through these subjects for a particular item I saw a couple of days ago. Obscured and obfuscated by the fog of scientific publication I've given-up the search for this item.
Any meaningful exchange of ideas has been made impossible on these pages by the deluge of sci-babble and I would expect the same to prevail in the scientific community at large.
Utter waste of time and effort.

"Results. We estimate that in 2006 the total number of articles published was approximately 1,350,000. Of this number 4.6% became immediately openly available and an additional 3.5% after an embargo period of, typically, one year. Furthermore, usable copies of 11.3% could be found in subject-specific or institutional repositories or on the home pages of the authors.
Conclusions. We believe our results are the most reliable so far published and, therefore, should be useful in the on-going debate about Open Access among both academics and science policy makers. The method is replicable and also lends itself to longitudinal studies in the future. "
