What is never public

An ask by invitation is not listed and is not counted here. The reports sent to a private ask are never public: not on this page, not on Discover, not in any listing or address above.

No money totals are shown. Each payment is on its ask and on the public ledger, and nothing here adds them up.

The page reads every source again within ten minutes. A count that reached a read's limit shows a +. A source that did not answer shows "unavailable right now" until it does. Back to the home page.
