I am grateful to my readers
for sending me information that is often very interesting,
which I try to manage as best I can. I devote a hell of a lot of
hours to it every day. But these emails pile up at an mind-boggling speed.
Let people not be surprised if, sometimes, I don't even reply,
even briefly. How does one cope with 150 emails per
day, a non-negligible number of which contain important information,
that must be "processed."
It is impossible for me in particular, for lack
of time, to react to a message of the kind "go and look at
such and such a site, there are interesting things there." Information needs to be framed.
Think that I receive a daily deluge of things of this kind.
Get to the point. Make a copy-paste of the key
passage(s) in your message. Don't forget to cite the sources,
whether it be a text or a photo. If the texts are in English, translate
them for me. I could not consider devoting time to doing it
myself.
Readers often ask me "how
could I make myself useful?". This contribution is one.
It took me 11 years to build this
site, whose audience has slowly grown. Access
is free and will remain so. It is in a way your newspaper because,
to a large extent, I compose it and rework it as needed with
the elements you send me. If you agree to be
quoted, I do so. Don't forget to specify it. Not all my informants
wish it.
The hoaxbusters do excellent work
by tracking down disinformation operations, which then backfire
... against their authors.
I try, alone, to put information online, to raise questions that concern
everyone's future. I try as far as possible to do genuine
information work, with the means at my disposal, while trying in parallel
to flush out what appears to me to be disinformation
operations. Sometimes, as for example with the case of the video
on the implantation of subcutaneous chips, I manage to put
online what can be considered genuine information.
Informing, denouncing lies,
that's all we have left, but it's not nothing.
Thanks to all.
P.S.: When you send me
documentation or when you point out interesting things to me,
specify to me whether you
accept, wish or do not wish to be quoted.
I can equally
put:
- A reader informs us that
....
or:
- Reported by Jacques Tartempion,
electronics engineer .....
It is up to the reader to decide.
I often waste time seeking this permission to quote.
Don't tell me "go to such and such a site, it's interesting."
I read English, but it's tiring.
Make sure I don't have
to think to go and find the file. Make a
copy of it in your email. If it's in English, make a summary
of a few lines in French. If it's important, I will ask you
for a hand with the translation.
I receive 200 emails per
day. I have at minimum 4 to 5 hours of work to process what my
readers send me. Every day there is something that requires a reaction
from me and a posting on the site. For pity's sake, don't bombard me with
humorous drawings in the Almanach Vermot style, or jokes of that kind.
It makes me waste time. Make short messages. Don't lay out
your impressions over pages of email.
We are living in the years
of all dangers. There are priorities in information. See
whether what you send is really interesting. In any
case, even if it is interesting, I cannot humanly
process everything that is sent to me every day. If the file you have
sent or pointed out to me does not seem to have caught my attention,
it is because I have been forced to make choices or that I have
put it on hold. I have dozens of interesting files on hold,
in this way ( that sometimes I despair of finding
the time to manage ).
