I am obsessive about referencing, and providing those references if I can. That way people can dig in deeper on their own. I love books that 1/3rd of the thing is a notes/reference section. I just love digging deeper into the primary sources of things. So I have always included that in my work.

Thanks, I appreciate that. It's a lot of work all day every day, so I am glad people can get some enjoyment / use out of them.
