Number in Parenthesis are the TZ Classic number when appropriate. Clicking on the number will take you to the TZ Classic post. Clicking on the title will take you directly to the most recent version of the article if I am hosting it. Certain articles are not of a quality I consider worthy of note in TZ Classics yet. Those articles have no TZ Classic numbers.
