I very much appreciate any and all corrections any knowledgable folks can help me out with. Please list sources I can use to verify if possible--opinions sent in without any references may--or may not--be added to the description if I am unable to verify the info. No one is an expert in all areas & I--like everyone else--have much to learn in many many areas. I encourage you to do your own research & come to your own conclusions.
