  • You should always compare/examine Information from any source, perhaps being extra careful with info taken from the Internet! Typing mistakes and grammatical errors abound (almost a given), but there can also be substantial difficulties in meaning: And misunderstanding some (little) things, can lead to big problems!

    Every link below takes you "offsite." (New references may be added in the future.) Hint: Do NOT waste time by following the links inside these references too or you'll just go round and round and...
