Dear moderator, Sorry, I forgot to add that I am all for people asking for documents (after exhausting usual sources only) on lis-forum. I am only worried if it is correct to ask for pdfs as it is a violation of copyright. As everyone knows, this is being done on a personal level in some cases but in a public forum? ...
