**Disclaimer - I have not gone through all of the links in the above document so some might work, some might not...Please let me know so maybe we can make a list of them or delete/erase them if possible so we know what ones to avoid? Or it might be easier to list the decent ones as again some can be hit or miss.....But there is good stuff to be found!!
Trichrider already has a thread with the "granny storm crow list" which I didn't know about before I made this thread, very sorry trichrider.....Link to Trich's Thread https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=278827 please check it out as it has alot of great articles and information. He did an amazing job organizing everything, keep up the good work man!!
