Teg, these are great links! I see that the same thing has been tried on this very forum... and failed. Great comments from Musk. And then there's this awesome list that I'll past here so I don't lose it! I'm gonna integrate this for modern times a bit, and then see if we can get it pinned. I do think it is important.
