    Default A lost John McGann lesson - just discovered

    Was doing some general site clean-up on the server today and saw an HTML file with a name I didn't recognize. Brought it up in a browser and discovered it contained a lesson by John McGann dated 2007 that somehow never got linked from anywhere on the site. John submitted several of these over the years and I'm not sure how this happened but it's clearly content I don't think anyone here has seen as it resides on this site.

    Here it is:

    Someone should really compile John's various lessons and online observations. Much wisdom.
