The irony of it is that my attempts came about after getting fed up with Sheldon/RR's serial numbers misguiding everyone. Now the old guides which I wrote on The Headbage are more or less doing the same thing. The good intentions came full circle to bite me in the butt.
If I ever get off my butt with the new website (spent six months of this year on website work for the paying job; reaaaaaly don't want to play Wordpress coder on my measly 1 week of off time), I've got an idea of how to fix this, but...time will tell.
If anything, I need to kick off that section about 1960's serials ASAP...
