(Page and entries last updated 5 December 2021)
As the site expanded significantly after the initial launch the sole use of links between content either using links embedded within the text or through top and side navigation bars became inadequate to quickly locate relevant content. This alphabetical listing of content, including cross-references, was therefore added; however, by 2021 it too became too complex to maintain and although we have left live most of what was already accomplished the search box above is recommended. The page was edited on 5th December 2021 and all references to the former Members Group which was closed when Yahoo closed their groups service should now be deleted.
