Mirrors

• 'RECOUP web site style' view of this content (as live mirror): http://www.ict4e.net/mirror_recoup/site/index.php (currently yslow grade D, ~ 57K for a small page)
• plain style (extra small!) http://www.ict4e.net/mirror_recoup/index.php (currently yslow grade A, ~ 14K for a small page)
• For comparison, the same page on the wiki itself has yslow grade F, ~ 85K.

Troublesome characters: The following high-ascii characters don't work well for the mirroring process, and have been fixed

• ‘single quotes’ (use ' instead)
• dash – dash (use - instead)
• “double quotes” (use " instead)
