An unexpected form of praise for Tripartite Alliance Earth

[rfmcdonald]

I've an alternate history on the Internet, Tripartite Alliance Earth hosted on the Alternate History Travel Guides website. Tripartite Alliance Earth is probably the most complex web-based alternate history out there, and although it's not finished there's a massive volume of information on that website in essay format. One essay is one I wrote on the Yucatán, in that alternate history an independent republic which fell under a French protectorate, modernized signfiicantly while remaining Mayan (as opposed to an odd kind of Mexican colony), fought a war with Guatemala (an evil dictatorship supported by the timeline's evil United States), survived a US air raid and the byproducts of the United States' unfortunate devastation in an ill-judged nuclear war, and generally did well in the context of a continent very badly damaged.

Just today I got feedback, a message from someone who read that page:

I was writing a speech on the Yucatan and began to read your "History of the Yucatan" and wasted about 30 minutes of my time in order to figure out that what I was reading wasn't history at all. It would be appropriate and polite for you to mention somewhere on the web pages that what is contained on those
web pages is not factual. Thank you.

This is good, eh?
