Disclaimer

Minor edits to punctuation, spacing, and the like have been made in some places to conform to Gemtext specifications or to improve readability. For example:

• English punctuation rules have changed since many of these archived pieces were written, so in some places I've changed punctuation to make meaning clearer.
• Some very long paragraphs have been split in places that, I hope, are natural enough breaking points, to improve reading flow.
• Gemtext lacks italicized text, so originally italicized text is instead (a) rendered in ALL CAPS to convey emphasis or to indicate the titles of books; (b) rendered in "quotation marks" to indicate that a word is being used in-the-sense-of-the-word-itself or to indicate the titles of papers; or (c) not emphasized in any way, if the italics originally indicated that the word was of foreign origin.
