In reviewing what I have posted on this page over the years, I have noticed that some of what I have written may not necessarily be as clear or relevant as it was when I wrote it. Even being the author, it can be a little difficult to remember exactly what was going on at the moment in order to put it into the right context.
That said, I have chosen to leave 99% of what I have written. Much of what I put up is as relevant today as it was even several years ago when I wrote it. Taken as a whole and read in chronological order, one can also see where some of my thoughts and positions have changed or evolved over time.
