To reveal a little secret of mine, that's only because I have the 
time-consuming habit of checking what I'm writing about (sometimes to 
find that I'm actually completely wrong and need to re-write the whole 
posting), so often my postings are more of a digest from Wikipedia pages 
than what I had previously thought to known :-)
