SPECIAL CYBER-MONDAY NOTICE: I rarely discount my subscriptions, and when I do, it is usually very modest. Not today. I’m eager for more subscribers, so I’m offering my Annual Bronze package for a Tim-has-gone-crazy 80% off. It’s $39.95 for the entire freakin’ year, so grab it now since it is only good today.
