I did not ignore your message. Only, recently responded. I will state again, these are not affiliate links. I get nothing from them. If by some chance, they are affiliate links, then they would be for the websites I get them from. I have no interest in getting anything from the links, but to share knowledge and information. I am subscribed to RSS feeds, look at what come through, and share what I feel like people would like to potentially read up on. Mostly Eco, science and space. Sometimes some other things. Working on dialing back some of the extra links.
