Updates 2022

Updates from last year may 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.  (If nothing else, the Bureau of Statistics and Standards says an American male has an average lifespan of 77.6 years, and I'm nearly 60 now...gives me a probable endpoint.  I once calculated that I should die sometime in September of 2037.)  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.
