Thanks @Telefrog for posting the link to that thread. I had not seen that before, and it was a fascinating read. And kudos to @noun for taking the time to write all of those articles (and/or stories).
Another link for anyone who missed it up above there. I imagine most people interested here will have read it by now, but it really should not be missed for anyone with even a passing interest in the subject (like me) who happed to miss it until now.
