I’m not really fond of this set of posts, because it’s turning out to be such an infodump. I’ve discovered the fun part about posting here isn’t just the data, but what I think about it and what I’ve been learning along the way… and this was all so long ago I hardly remember. But, since I’ve started this, I may as well finish with what I have.
