Big thanks to HarryBlank and
Grigori Karpin for grinning and bearing through countless drafts of my article.
Also thanks to Lt Flops,
Oboebandgeek99,
Hexick, and
chiifu for helping with the finishing touches.
Also I would like to give lots of love to the -RU branch, for creating the Progress Research Institute.
