Because, unlike text extractors robots, we are writing our articles with
our brain, but also with our guts.

I think that it's one of the reasons why some people seem to enjoy
reading our short stories and ,eventually, a part of our added value.

We trust our readers to be able to make their own analysis, though, and
to facilitate this we take care to clearly differentiate our personal
feelings from the raw facts, provide wide extracts as quotation and as
many links as available to the original uncharacterized documents.

Thanks for your interest for my story ;=)
