Hey, hi, Jim here...whew, just wanna warn ya, this is a looong one
I apologize for that, but I found so much information that I wanted to pass along -- didn't really care if you wanted to hear it or not...it's there regardless; you may not believe it, but I DID cut out a crapload of stuff!
And while I am apologizing, let me apologize for my heinous pronunciation of Indian names and words...I married into a family with an Indian father, but that doesn't mean that I learned the language(s)
On with the show...
