It appears to me that those who
rely simply on the weight of authority to prove any
assertion, without searching out the arguments to
support it, act absurdly. I wish to question freely
and to answer freely without any sort of adulation.
That well becomes any who are sincere in the search
for truth.
- Vincenzo Galilei (Galileo's father)

Revision #
Most pages on this website have a revision number
and date. The revision number is a very
subjective indicator of the completeness
of the page. If it is less than 1.0.0, the page is
not considered complete; the closer to 1.0.0 the
more complete it is. A major revision number,
#, is -.#.-; a minor one is -.-.#.
