Note: Although I have visited and personally evaluated
all of the sites listed
below, I don't re-visit each of them regularly, and I'm not always notified when sites are no
longer active. I would greatly appreciate your feedback on the usefulness of any of the sites listed, and if you should encounter an
inactive site, please let me know. I have checked all of the
helpline numbers to make sure they work, but if you encounter any that
don't, please let me know so I can correct them. I also welcome your suggestions
for additions to these listings. Please send your comments and
suggestions to me at
