At this juncture, the website has rather modest objectives, but the primary objective is to provide the reader with a meaningful experience without distractions, and to guard as much as possible the reader's privacy.  The best way to do that is to take great care on features added to the website and to practice full disclosure.

Cookies are currently utilized to navigate the website and to provide site analytics.  Starting in June 2020, "marketing" has been added and this will be evaluated over the summer.  IONOS (1and1.com) hosts this site and they distinguish between "marketing" and major internet services such as Google, Bing, and Facebook.  So "marketing" is being evaluated for now.

Eventually this site will be monatized.  But the objective is to do so in a way that protects the reader and provides meaningful, relevant content.  For this reason, articles are now only being posted to this website where advertising can be controlled more effectively.  At this point, you may notice there is very little advertising except links to 1&1 (where this website is hosted) and the author's social network sites.

If you have any thoughts or suggestions, feel free to send a note.
