I’m pleased to see that my latest article entitled American Pravda: How Hitler Saved the Allies is doing quite well, with excellent traffic and over 850 contentious comments, totaling almost 150,000 words.

Some of the commenters indicated they’d very much like to have access to hard-copy versions of the series, which are sometimes more convenient for reading lengthy pieces. Obviously, these could always be produced by merely printing out the particular articles, but since printed copies normally do not provide links, a great deal of important information would be lost.

Therefore, I’ve added a bit of software that automatically converts hypertext links into footnoted references, which are then grouped together at the end of an article. The resulting version can then be printed or converted into a PDF file, with almost no loss of useful material. This transformation is triggered by appending “?display=footnoted” to the regular URL, as in for example, https://www.unz.com/runz/american-pravda-how-hitler-saved-the-allies/?display=footnoted

Using this method, I’ve gone back and produced PDF versions of all the items in the American Pravda series, and linked those PDFs near the top of each text, making them conveniently available to interested readers.

In addition, here’s a listing of all the more significant American Pravda items, linked to the printable PDF versions, which also serves as a helpful catalog to the entire series. The total is quite substantial, running over 170,000 words, with 20,000 comments providing another 2.7 million words of debate and discussion.

On another matter, I’ve recently received some complaints about several “problematical” commenters, who regularly overwhelm our comment-threads with their personal perspectives, often spewing forth far more than their reasonable share. Therefore, I’ll probably be adding some additional software to limit them to a much more reasonable quota during any given time-period.
