Yep sorry - I may have not made my prejudices entirely clear. I was being 
biased against submitting papers to undergraduate online-only journals 
when there are print UG and online PG journals around. Not for a minute 
suggesting that all online-only resources should be avoided (though I do 
have my doubts about this method of publication in general as a future for 
philosophy).

And I especially didn't want to slag off the PJA - nor any horse-related 
articles that may appear in it!

I'd encourage anyone to visit the journal at the link I gave in my earlier 
post:

http://www.british-aesthetics.org/Home.aspx?tabindex=6&tabid=63

It's a good read.

It is still true that some 'pro' journals do not allow citation of 
online-only materials, though. At least according to their instructions to 
authors (sorry, boring editorial research geekery again). The way around 
this in the future may be to ISSN the online journal - this is now allowed 
for under the ISSN scheme - so that there's no need to include URL 
information.
