My "feelings" have nothing whatsoever to do with the composition of this list: what an odd manner in which to inform me that I missed something, the possibility for which being the main reason I asked the question at the bottom of the post. As I am only now exploring the literature, I shared what I have come across, and so I had yet to come across your book (or frequent references to it for that matter). I'll be happy to add it however, but rest assured the reasons for omission were perfectly innocent and the subject of "hurt feelings" absolutely irrelevant.
