Introduction
I did not compile this Anthology. I am merely hosting it (with the author’s permission) because the original website is now defunct.

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.
…
If you have any other comments or suggestions, you can post those in the anthology thread.
I hope you find this useful.
