Requested.

Hey, I got full-book scans of these books, so I won't need these chapters anymore.

Hey Vincent. Would you mind sending me copies of the three papers? (I assume the first two relate to the third, which I read, and liked, a long time ago. If they are unrelated, I'm not that interested.) My name is Pablo Stafforini, and my email address is FirstName@LastName.com, with the obvious substitutions. Thanks!

I was in the works of getting the Quieting of Louis Pascal chapter when this request got canceled. Here's that one, if you still want it.

Vincent kindly sent me all three items already, but thanks anyway.

I've finished reading that chapter, and it's a pretty strange story (the Wikipedia article indicates his AIDS hypothesis is even more refuted these days). Why were you interested in it?

I was interested in that article, which I have yet to read, only because it was authored by Louis Pascal. I'm interested in Pascal because he authored this other article (see here for discussion).

Have you heard back from the library?

Comment author: jsalvatier 18 September 2012 09:11:51PM 1 point [-]

Sorry for the long delay here. The issue is that I didn't get e copies of these as I normally do, but instead they placed holds on the books, and I still have to go see if they're available yet. I'm also in SF till the 22nd.

I'll try to work this out when I get back.

No problem, there's no rush. Thanks for doing this. (I've found the third item elsewhere, so please disregard that.)

By the way, would you like to have a skype chat sometime next week? I think it would be interesting to talk, and I'm curious who you are.

Comment author: VincentYu 20 September 2012 05:42:36PM 0 points [-]

Sure. IIRC, my Skype username is (rot13ed) lhivapragr. I actually prefer IM through Gchat, where I can be reached at (rot13ed) nolpwlirl@tznvy.pbz.
