Dr Wessinger is entitled to his view.  However, I've worked in labs where
people simply went through Current Contents and ticked off papers they
were "interested" in, without even reading them.  A secretary then had the
mindless task of completing reprint request cards.  The reprints that
arrived were stacked (frequently unread) until the same secretary filed
them.  My point is that if you are genuinely interested in receiving a
person's reprint you should have the courtesy to write a personal letter
rather than simply firing off a RRC
