By now I'm positive that whatever Topaz/QSIDE were trying to achieve with that list (whether it's stirring up grad students against a bourgeois "elite", threatening people en masse, or just gathering evidence to prove his points) has failed.

Good news is, we have AMR now with several well-known people on their masthead ( https://amathr.org/books/ ).
