The Journal for Advancement of Stellar Astrology has grown in its membership gradually. From the very second issue till date, JASA has honestly and transparently shared its membership numbers. This has become a cause of jealousy for an Editor and his reviewer friend, who cannot “believe” how this has happened.
If you look at the table below, the picture will become crystal clear---who is bluffing

How can the number of countries remain same for the last 4 years??
How can the number of subscribers remain the same for 2 consecutive years??
Either the magazine is not read by people, or the numbers quoted are fishy. or even worse. May be the numbers are increased just to stand beside the tall and strong JASA.

Probably the Editor and his Reviewer friend does not know that “You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.”
