Acknowledgments

The creation of this site was inspired by a Hacker News comment by jgrahamc (John Graham-Cumming). However, any shortcomings of this site are my responsibility alone.

The initial visual design of this site was inspired by that of Annoyances.org. However, the code for this site was written from scratch, not taken from there.

Hosting and domain registration for this site are provided (for a fee!) by NearlyFreeSpeech.NET, with whom I am, so far, quite happy. (And they did not pay me to say that.)

Lastly, let me un-acknowledge my employer. Fine folk that they may be, they have nothing to do with this site, and any opinions expressed here are not theirs.
