Over 500 submissions this month! I love reading and this is the best gift I could be given (my birthday is July 30th).
Because we now have enough content, I have gone and created an Appendix that will be at the bottom of these emails going forward. This will help people navigate to the various stories, articles, and tools on this site.
Hopefully, this will make everything easy to find!
Thank you all!
