That page was already bloated, and your addition to it was one of the bulkiest ever. I've therefore cut it down to size and referred the interested reader here. (Of course, you're welcome to readd the two or three most important references.) -- Hoary (talk) 10:20, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

Thank you Hoary. I appreciate your help with this. InternetFriend (talk) 17:53, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
