These postings cover prior seasons as well as current season.

More than one comment by Glenn on a particular subject? I have them bulletized or separated in some way (e.g. + ~ + ~ + ~ + ~ +); I've included a synopsis of a question where necessary to set up Glenn's comment. If a posting was retrieved from the SF_PGE forum archives, I have indicated SF_PGE next to the date.
