With your young eyes, this is probably true. After a bit, folks tend to layoff the very minor/minor stuff and focus on bigger “game”. At least...
Good eyes, Larry!
Great points @Paddy54!! You’ll see various members lean towards one resource or another where a number of sources list same/similar items. It...
