Josephine Tey in The Daughter of Time:

It is an odd think, but when you tell someone the true facts of a mythical tale they are not with the teller but with you. They don’t want to have their ideas upset.

Aside:

I wonder if I somehow inadvertently got some kind of bootleg copy. Per the cover, it was printed in Columbia, SC, on 2020-11-08, but it bears no publishers imprint and the pages are numbers, nor are there any chapter headings.

The quotation, in any event, rings true.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
