I’m still not saying anything, but I do seem to be storing a bit, and my memory is notoriously spotty. I also don’t find the Search feature useful in jogging my memory, only in finding what I remember. So I'm going to add an index of sorts here at the beginning, which appears at the end. (I suppose that this is a first being last sort of thing.)
