Your Request-button-ideology is based on pure arbitrariness. If the
author only has the mail adress of the requester and no university
affiliation - what are the criteria to decide? Random? Or simply NO -
the most scholars in my several tests have'nt reacted on my request
button tests.

As I have shown at

the Request button isn't legal in Germany.
