Sorry, the standards re dates have apparently changed since I was last actively contributing — I think this one is a pity, but OK. About offsite links, you guys will have to do the scurrying behind the scenes thing, as advertised, because I’m doing these edits on my phone and copying templates is beyond me. It’s all I can do to get the links in. If you would prefer, I can email text files and notes on needed corrections instead. ~Leah Zeldes Smith
