The content of these attempts to write is mine (where it is not, I have made that clear) and I only insist (not ask) that you declare the source and share any rewards if you use my material yourself. Any opinions are mine; I am open to attempts to change those opinions. The situations described are near to my perceptions of what happened. If you can sell this material, you are welcome to 10%.
By 2010 the collection had passed the 50 mark. Navigation is proving difficult and the links keep breaking - so I have changed the format. What works well is the list of available essays on each webpage containing an essay. What doesn’t work well is picking one from this page. The problems began when i tried to make the page load faster: the optimisation routine is a bit too clever.
So if you find this working unreliably, please find a button that works, such as by clicking on a year number, go to the linked essay and then use the collection of titles at the top of that page to navigate your way around.

I have re-published the essays as a weblog of which the sub-200 version is to be found here
and I added, 201208, an index to “Blog Site”, called essays by topic, found here.
Other Copies of Essays may help you discern which you want to visit.
