Welcome to Digest number 63. From here on out, and due to circumstances beyond my control, these digests probably won't be quite so pretty. Sorry for the inconvenience (in case there is some). Think of it as a fiscal year changeover if that helps. ;')
A bunch of these are reprises from earlier digests and whatnot, pinged for your edification and delight.
