Open Input

       Inputs are most welcome.  In fact, they are the reason for this site.  Inputs are your contributions of serious research (not necessarily "professional," just serious and careful) to establish facts and draw significance and meaning from those facts.  Please note, however:

       1.  We are operating on the internet, under probably total surveillance.  As far as I know, you, like I, can be traced back from your postings, whether or not you use aliases and other means to conceal yourself.  So understand that we are operating in total nakedness here -- okay?

       2.  We will be developing guidelines for input to make it most useful, but for now, use this format for input:

              a. a brief descriptive header

              b. use a who-what-where-when-how approach;  make it as accurate, clear and concise as possible.

              c. if you can, develop the why, purpose, meaning, significance as clearly as you can.

              d. give your judgment of trustworthiness of the information and its source.

              e. cite the source whenever possible; page number where possible; give an internet link whenever possible. Give a date of publication, or when the link first appeared, whenever you can, using month-day-year format as appropriate.

              f. you may suggest tag words for cross-referencing and linking purposes.

              g. identify yourself, even with an alias or combination of letters and numbers, whenever possible.  Protect your credibility: and if someone "hacks" your name, say so, and the information can be removed or flagged.

       3. I will try to sort input into appropriate files or categories.  I'll hopefully figure out how to do this as we go.  Once I categorize your input, it will probably disappear from the comments below.


       4. For now, restrict your input to established topics.  If you want to provide input for a new topic, propose it on the Reader Comments page.

       Thanks.
