Please send a request to me at: [log in to unmask] In your Subject header, place the word: Rittel Please use only this word in the header so my computer can track your request. If you use a different header such as "PDF, please" or "Thanks for your offer," you run the risk becoming invisible to my rather balky email system. Every day or so, I shall up the requests and send out PDFs. Yours, Ken Ken Friedman Professor, Ph.D., Dr.Sci.
