Our blog is divided into two parts: blog post and data post. The blog post section is dynamic in the sense that it is the place where we tell our story, our thoughts, and our discussions regularly and constantly. The data post section is static in the sense that it is a library where we collect some relevant and important data, which are used to support our blog posts with supporting references. The latter consists of Our Suit, NAPAA Suit, Other Suits, The Poem, A Chronology of Allstate’s Relation to Its Agents-Policyholders-Investors, and Misc. Documents.
We use parentheses for the explanation and the reference to our materials in the data post section, which is labeled as MyData. We use footnote to reference to outside sources as a rule, but we will break this rule occasionally, when parentheses are more convenient for short reference.
Hyperlinks will be provided in the future for abbreviations, acronyms, and key words.
We shall use full names of nearly all Allstate officers and officials in recounting our stories for authenticity; in rare occasions, we will hide some identities for minor officials to shield them from harm.
As a rule, we hide all agents’ identities, unless they themselves express the wish to use their real names. However, we use the real names for the NAPAA (National Association of Professional Allstate Agents) officials and directors.
We try to date all our documents. We have snapshotted quite a bit posts in the FB All Agents Page platform, where we use SN. M/D/Y to date the post if the content of the post does not indicate date of posting.
