Disclaimer: I did not name it a corsette, the AIoC did. Please keep in mind if you don’t like that title, don’t write me and tell me my source is wrong. Kindly write them yourselves and tell them they are wrong. I even saved you the trouble and found the contact form: Here!
It’s very frustrating to constantly have people write and say your source is wrong. What do you expect me to do?
