An attempt to be more explicit

I've noted that the amount of background information about the players or events in recent posts has not been explained sufficiently. Some of the stories have lacked narratives sufficient to make them understandable to someone with little background on the events being discussed. To that end I hope to add more introductory synopses to the beginning of posts, to refrain from dropping acronyms or abbreviations without expanding them, and to link to previous or foundational posts that explain what is going on more fully. Hopefully, this will make for a more pleasant reading experience.
