Everything I write I publish on my own web server
<http://Tony-Barry.emu.id.au/people/tony/publications.html> which
ensure it gets into any web robot which passes by. I seem to get a
steady stream of hits from users. In discussion I can refer to a
paper I have written and give the URL and ensure that those that I
talk to can access the material directly without needing a library.

The way of the net is making the grey literature and self material and
preprint server contents easier to find and access that the "white"
literature.
