Hi, my name is Brett. I began working on this study since June 25th, 2017, and I hope that it has been encouraging to you.  Although I was able to spend a great deal of time on it at first, I have found that I no longer have time to continue updating the site or responding to emails.  Also, this contact form seems to have attracted some spam bots that regularly send me spam.   For these reasons, I have decided to remove the contact form.   I am planning to leave the site up as a resource for interested parties, but will likely not be updating it in the near future.   Thank you for your understanding.
