One unfortunate side effect of the way these forums are organized is that the most useful content tends to eventually get lost into a morass of new threads, leading to it being impossible to find the most helpful posts again. So I'd like to compile all of the useful writeups and articles here so they can be found easily later. Perhaps once I have enough, a reference to this thread could then be added to the index of useful links for future reference. I would like to start at the beginning but unfortunately this forum is already far enough along that it would be nigh impossible to find all the useful content from the last five years. Please let me know if there's anything you think should be added
