I wasn't able to download from Academia without signing up for a paid 
subscription...   but they seem to let me read papers inline/html... I 
hope you can as well, I'm guessing that is how Glen read it, maybe others?

I feel like a cheapskate not wanting to pay the paywall, but it feels 
like there are *so many* to choose from...  a  little too much like 
streaming movie subscriptions?   Once it was just Netflix, then Hulu, 
then Amazon Prime, then HBO, Showtime, Roku, AppleTV, etc. ad infinitum...

As mentioned earlier, I'm finding Academia's recommender to be pretty 
good, and the free-read-inline means I actually read (or at least skim) 
a lot of what they recommend...   Maybe they deserve my $149/year?

It looks like this was Raoul's Dissertation and it looks like he is 
still at Heidelberg U. where he matriculated....  I may penetrate 
*their* arcane website to find it from the direct source...
