Table of Contents (for reasonably useful Postings!)

— this is a work in progress at the moment — ugh. there has to be an easier way to do this! I thought I was through writing hand cooked html a long time ago —

Here is a consolidated list of all the posts, by major subject and link only.   I was having trouble finding old entries myself!   The Categories in the side-bar are useful, but bring up entire posts, not just a summary of the urls within that category.   Let’s try this.
