Coolant - Dex Cool

I just wanted to share some links which I thought provided very useful information regarding antifreeze / coolant. In particular the caveats regarding use of Dex Cool, Organic Acid Technology, OAT, 2-ethylhexanoic acid, 2-EHA or other similar products.
I'm not mechanically inclined so forgive my rudimentary understanding of this topic. After reading these articles I have a small understanding of why this is such a confusing issue.

That last link is very informative, sort of an eye opener.
