I have more writing links but these will "seed" the links section for now.

[Jack]

Thanks for sharing the links with us NaClmine!
Its very useful! :D

Damn fine collection, Salty!

I made this a sticky here as well as moving it to the Ref Links forum.

Couldn't hurt to have it both places. I want this to be prominent in the forum anyway.

Thanks!
