Whoops-- missed this and accidentally posted my own info as a reply rather than including it in your original post! I realize I shouldn’t have done that now-- I’ve just never seen a wiki post here before. Neat idea.

To those wondering how to edit this post and add your own information to the list, look at the top right of the first very first post on this thread (made by @HAWK) and click the green pencil inside a box icon on the top right of that post.
