About links on my webpages
I expect you to read each linked item above at least once.
Most of these linked web pages will have links, too.
Some of these links continue the topic, some of the links are for optional, additional information, but some links refer to pages you have already read...
those links are there not to force you to re-read a page you have already seen, but simply for easy access to something related, IF you need a reminder, for examples, etc.
