I was going to say, a list of professional who might be willing to send
some ifo re: their expereince with it.
And, is the Periodical Index no longer published? Back when I was writing
papers (i.e. The Early Cretaceous Era ;) ), there were loads of subject

none of that published anymore...? Or has the so-called "educational"
system stopped passing along even that basic sort of information, along
with other basics, in favor of increasing Digital Dementia...?
Just wondering...
