If I knew how I know everything that I know, then there wouldn't be enough room in my head to know everything, that I know.

I started doing some research on this site but the OCR is awful - a lot of searches will give false positives due to this but more annoyingly a lot of information will be unfindable due to the bad OCR. Hopefully it will improve - other brightsolid websites are usually very good.
Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have. The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases.

I overlooked your reply at the time, GB. No, I haven't sent my feedback - I know a lot of other people have made similar remarks to them so they don't really need to hear it again.
