This is from another forum I post in. I started the list with a few of my own links and then began updating it with links from other folks. I decided to bring it over here as it stopped getting action over there. If you have any links you'd like to see added to the list, please post it and then I'll update the list. As we move onwards, I'll see about having the post made into a sticky that everybody can update. That way the work won't depend upon me but upon everybody. Rather like a mad links page in html. While I started this post, I'd like to see everybody take ownership of the page and help it grow. If we don't post it across the 'net, Steve can take it and include it into bosspro as a resource. It'd be nice to give back to him in some small way.
Cheers!
PJ
