House rules
Nothing on this list is for sale here, and nothing on it is a Finperma product unless the entry says so plainly. Where something builds on someone else's work, that person is named.
No one listed here is affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to Finperma, and no entry implies that Finperma is affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to them. Nobody paid to be here and there are no affiliate links — if that ever changes, it will be stated on the entry itself.
The “why it is here” lines are one person's opinion, nothing more. Nothing on this list is financial, legal, medical or professional advice, and linking to something is not a recommendation to buy it, use it or rely on it. Follow a link and you are on someone else's site, under their terms.
About this list
It stays short. Things are added when they earn it and removed when they stop being true, so a quiet page is a sign the standard is holding rather than a sign nothing is happening.
Something here wrong, out of date, or yours and listed in a way you would rather it was not? Say so and it will be corrected or taken down.
