The following websites, press outlets and miscellaneous good folks have said just lovely things about me over the years, and I am ever so grateful! Some of them are actually still out there, amazingly enough, online. Some are not archived and have since disappeared (ah, the fleeting Web). For others, I was able to find archived copies courtesy my friends at the Internet Archive (web.archive.org).
