July 12, 2014.  I have been made aware that a number of the websites I have linked to which contain Star Trek Fan Film commentary and reviews also contain extreme political misstatements and views, and may be using their Star Trek commentaries to draw in readers to sell them on false and misleading statements and extreme political positions.  Please know that any link I make to a commentary does not imply I have any positive view of the website as a whole, or even of that commentary.
