To explain the next several posts...

The following few posts are just an effort by me to consolidate some of the posts I have made in the past to various threads on various boards and were important enough to me that I saved them.

They reflect my feelings at the time of the post. It's out of context so it may be a bit odd. Any that are so obscure as to require context to understand at all I will try to include a bit to explain where they are from.

I hope they make for interesting reading for you all.
