To Daniel, On Combining Things

Daniel,
Thanks.
Obviously, not everything you or Soloviof publish is false. No news in that.
Consciously or unconsciously, you give people a mixture of false and true facts.
The presence of true facts serves to attract people to the texts, as if they were authentic.
The presence of lies ( they do not need to be too many) serves to attack key points of the movement, as the honour and legitimacy of its main founder.
I hope you perceive this -- and improve your editorial policy.
Best regards, Carlos.
