What does you mean? Okay in this blog you can find very seldom a text from myself. I tstarted this blog long time ago. In this time there was no facebook or twitter like today ... But I don't kno what you mean David? Every time you can find the sources ... Never I said this text is from me ... All the time this blog is a collection of different sources about Georgia & South Caucasus ... nothing more. Why you are so anxious? It is only a blog not a news agency or an analysis magazin ... I think it is not so bad for Georgia & South Caucasus ... ,-)
