Psst. Therasia. It's a wiki. If it's wrong, you can fix it.

Now see? I knew that if I posted a readily accessible page, one of two
things would happen. The info might have turned out to essentially
correct, in which case folks would have a good starting point. Or the
info might turn out to have major errors, and then someone would post
better sources without me spending hours and hours trying to find
them. (I would have placed a bet on who that 'someone' would be, but I
doubt I would have found any takers.)

So my work here is done...
