The web sites have been my primary means of research. Unfortunately,
few of them seem to have the information I look for, such as whether or

That would be wonderful, if such a thing existed around here. And, it's
quite possible that something like that *does* exist here, but I haven't

As I mentioned before, the archives for this list were quite helpful in
