I never intended to have a table of contents at all. To my mind, it would be like having a table of contents in a dictionary or a novel. There are links on every page, making it easy for people who think like me to find what they want to read. But someone (you know who you are) pointed out that not everybody thinks that way - this is for the ones who don't.
