[The lower section of this page was originally launched on 17.07.06 as a Draft page named 'OReilly01'. The page was renamed 'OReillyXX' on 03.05.25. It was released into the main database following the addition of the upper section and our acceptance that there was little chance of our making a significant improvement to that lower section in the near future and that it was 'good enough' to be promoted into the main database.]
