Wow, Peter, this is amazing. I remember the two long threads, but I never saw this compendium back in March. And then just this week I was talking about modes with a friend of mine who plays accordion, and I told her I'd seen something on the Mudcat and I'd try to excerpt the useful bits for her, and voila! here it is all neat and tidily summed up for us, and conveniently refreshed by Marion (thanks Marion!).

Thank you, thank you.
