I don't know if you folks took the extra emphasis on staying on topic as a dare or what, but I eliminated about a half-dozen entries for fundamentally not answering the question and probably could have deleted a couple of others but got tired and gave up. This doesn't seem like it should happen 279 of these things in. I appreciate people responding, but please cut me some slack on that stuff. Pretty please?
