"Far cry" in what sense? The AAAI IAAI conference was about the best could expect from the AAAI.
I published in JIS because it has a wider audience than, say, another Elsevier journal on 'theoretical computer scince' or some such, which I did consider.
For JOTA, I contend that such applied math is closer to the important future of CS than nearly any journal in CS. If I am correct here, and my theme in my post was that CS needs to 'mathematize', then I have been helpful.
There's no "Big Shot", another insult, involved. I just listed where I got published. From the article, one of the leading topics on the Google+ community was the difficulty of getting CS published, and I indicated that I had essentially been successful even though I wasn't much interested.
For the academic 'pecking order' of the journals, I have never cared since I've never had any academic aspirations.
But for someone having trouble getting published, the journals I listed are a big step up from no publications. So, if they can do what I did, then they would be ahead. So, my advice should have been seen as helpful, which was clearly the intention.
