Ok - so there's an interest. The next thing to do would be to settle on the topic list and order.
I don't want to overwhelm (though I'm fairly sure this will) as there's a lot of ground to cover. But keep in mind I'd post maybe one or two of these a week (depending on how busy life gets), so this is a long term project. If we go ahead with this, I'll make a post in St. Basil's with the topic list, and then link future posts back to it so one can use the original post as a sort of "table of contents." The following is, more or less, chronologically what I'd cover.
If there's anything MISSING from the list that you'd like me to cover, let me know
