Greetings, my reading friend, and welcome to yet another December 2024 issue of our blog / bulletin / thingee. Given the time of year, yours truly decided yet again to break away from our anniversarial tradition in order to bring you this topic, a topic which fell by the wayside when I miscalculated the length of not one, but two October 2024 articles (3 parts instead of 2 and 4 parts instead of 3).
