I've advertised (only?) twice both as part of threads. The second time

siderealfirst was a very accurate sidereal clock on a thread discussing

In the thread on power line frequency control chaos, as a consequence

It's perfect for teachers and I think you'll love it!
If you prefer, you may also send donations and the information
is at the above mentioned site.
Gadzooks! Spammed by Phys-L! I pray that the last few remaining
non-commercial zones of the Internet are not doomed to extinction.
IMHO, well-intentioned spam is still spam.
Best wishes,

Just because spamming is not yet a felony doesn't mean
