Apologia
Or, My Reason for Littering the Ether with Yet One More Collection of Preference Lists, Copyright Infringements, Unsolicited Advice, and Thinly Veiled Assertions

For some unfathomable reason I've been granted the inestimably valuable gifts of a fine education, ample leisure (in years past), and the most interesting and excellent friends that anyone has ever had. One of the ways that I am trying to respond to these unaccountable privileges is by sharing their fruits.

Here you will find a few of the pearls that have come into my hands. Some of the noble souls who passed them on to me are credited here, but most are not. Please stuff your pockets and feel very free to share.
