NotesUnless otherwise noted in parentheses, the language employed on a specific site that I have linked to is English. Obviously, the list is biased towards U.S.-American sites, but I'm eager to include others, as I learn of them. I have tried to list sites in non-English languages by their native title where ever it has been accesible to me. Bold letters indicate abbreviations as they are used by the site in question. This list currently contains 302 links.

AcknowledgmentsKudos and thanks to all colleagues who maintain similar lists of links (generally listed in the above reference section). I occasionally browse these colleagues' pages and find links which I had not included myself before. I hope that these colleagues do the same and thus keep our collective enterprise going.
