Free Data Sets
I have encountered these sets, found them somewhat useful, massaged some of them and I am returning them from where they came, the public. I will start with one that is ready and documented, others may follow as I have time to prepare them. If you have any free sets that you do not know what to do with, send them to me I will put them up here, in good company.
