Site Updates 2023
2022 Updates many be seen here.
I will first say the standard blurbs I normally give at the beginning of the year. There are references to items that have not yet been put in, and I hope I'll get to them eventually this year.
I will continue to try to be more assiduous about replying to PMs and email, though I give no guarantees that such replies will not be late or even very late. A number of PMers and emailers have pointed out items which require more research or just that they would like to see; the best I can say is I'll see what I can do.
As usual, the site is in an enormous state of flux, and stats may change at any time; in some cases, entire pages or entries may change or disappear.
