Moreover, even Prof. Jamison's review of Bryant & Patton's 2005 volume, of which Kazanas' _Quaderni di semantica_ article is a rejoinder, is not included in Kalyanaraman's webpage. Why so? The text of Jamison's review is freely available online:

For completeness of information, a link to it ought to be added to that Kalyanaramanesque webpage...
