It's been a while since I've mentioned the organisation called Academia.
Maybe there are lurkers here who would benefit from a warning. The web
site academia.edu claims "Academia.edu is a place to share and follow
research". That sounds respectable, but its record for accuracy is
really bad.
I regularly get e-mail from them saying

To the best of my knowledge I have never viewed a paper called "Julius
Caesar", at academia.edu or elsewhere. Either they are targeting people
randomly, or their information is grossly faulty. Either way, that's not
good enough. Do not trust them.
they (Academia.edu) never makes that mistake in their emails to me.
