The news story that supposedly backs up what you said about a Nobel Laureate not knowing he was on the editorial board of an MDPI journal should have checked its sources, as you should have too. An e-mail ostensibly sent by Prof Capecchi accepting an honorary appointment to that board exists (I have read i and have no reason to doubt its autheticityt) and a lot of what you state in your reasons to add MDPI to you list comes from the very voluminous (and readily available) targeted e-mail campaign against MDPI since they first indicated support for the Spirit of Science Award. That puts them in good company with Nature who went through something similar for the same reason. A welcome to the world of vociferous lackeys is in order I suppose.
