JD Wayside is not a figment of my imagination, my animus or other fanciful
psychological prop. JD's a good friend who co-created the original ErisX website,

a misguided soul through the bardos of Discord. Those files are still up, here.
Below is a list of links provided by his Popishness some time ago. MOST OF THEM
ARE RED HERRINGS, until JD can take a vacation from the meatworld.... ~EX
