Hi folks,

I put this together back in January for a friend I was coaching at the time. It is essentially a digest of all the digests, sorted by post category. It's been sitting on my web server since then, and it must have been indexed by google or something because it's been getting a lot of hits. So I might as well post it here since it's already out there... Enjoy.

People are welcome to add to this if they wish—here is a link to the original .doc.  Edit it, save as both .doc and .htm, and email both files to me at azcire+2p2@gmail.com.   If you have any other comments or suggestions, you can post those in the anthology thread.

I hope you find this useful.
