It's funny... you write something, then forget it for a few years then somebody points it out to you again, and it connects immediately with something else you're working on and fills the gap in thinking that you have. Or maybe there's just holes in my brain. Also, I share your frustration on the exclusiveness of academic publishing. We need a better system that is open access. The Design Journal (where the paper is published and which I'm an editorial board member of) is shortly to shift to another publisher. They seem more committed to issues of fairer access. In the meantime, you're right. Blagging a copy off the author usually works best! I wish you success with your work. Mike I am glad that you found the paper of some interest to you.
