Even if you believe that the URL just referenced will always
be available, you would do well (and be both more scholarly and
more polite) to credit the author, Adam Gaffin, of the material
which you have quoted so extensively (deleted below). Since,
in fact, URLs cannot be guaranteed, you really *must* give
Adam credit (and I hope you will do so on the ADS list).
