The short sordid story is [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=165265). The long sordid story is safely contained within my skull.
I’m reluctant to bump the original thread, because it’s long gone, and I can’t ask my “source,” because his e-mail is private, and I don’t want to/can’t start over.
But I still want to know. So what do I do?
I know, I know, “go to the library yourself, you stupid jerk” is a valid answer here. Thing is, this doesn’t even amount to a hobby, and I have a lot of other things to do.
I should just drop it, right?
But I got a great, if incomplete, answer and I know there’s more information available from people right here on this board, and I want to _know_.
Okay, I’ll drop it. For future reference, what should I do?

All right then, never mind.
The posters are helping me, and I’m a jerk.
Please close this thread, and please don’t punish me too harshly.
