That a fantastic, detailed and exhaustively-researched article, Aether! I am both flattered and humbled that you acknowledged me as an influence and also linked to several of my articles.

I had thought of covering similar material for an end-of-year article, but I admit I found it somewhat daunting. I’m glad I no longer need to, for you have done your various topics immense justice.

Very well done, and thanks for sticking with it to the end, I shudder to think of the number of hours you spent on this!
