And I don't think that's worth very much. To me it's really looking like 
CiSE citation or no citation at all.

I did the same mistake, because I couldn't see the paywall myself. At 
the time I actually had a hard time finding an internet connection that 
wouldn't transparently serve me the PDFs. And once I learned I figured 
it was a bit too late to back out.

I've learned a lot since then.
