So another can of worms to be opened in terms of how to function as Essex

So another can of worms to be opened in terms of how to function as Essex
We at Essex have the goal of finding the truth correct?
But also have the goal of spreading that information to others (otherwise we end up being as bad as the powers we are trying to oppose)

So the main question is how shall we do it?
So far there seem to be a couple of possibilities, but we should decide on one (or variation of it) in order to make our sharing uniforme

A - Share a post in some major communities with the result of a research. This would be done giving Essex full credit, but with our own profiles. I suggest a continuous rotation system to avoid stardom to anyone in specific.
ADVANTAGES
Most of us already have quite a legion of followers related to ingress and Niantic so the information is better accepted and the audience ends up being quite large
DISADVANTAGES
Like mentioned before it could bring too much attention to one person and not the Essex idea itself
The rotation system might get some info lost due to some ppl being better associated with investigation than others

B - Share the information using alt accounts
The most known cases would be Skillful Huntsman  and Magnus Aligned  for example.  
ADVANTAGES
Avoids the all stardom effect to some degree (it could still happen just with different names)
DISADVANTAGES
The need to build a legion of followers from scratch to get credibility
The possibility of getting ppl accusing those accounts of being fake and ignoring the info broadcast by them (could be solved by having more ppl circling it but it might not - Example OLW / Magnus aligned accounts are still badly seen in some circles)
The problem of having always the same ppl managing the accounts and giving the info being given a personal touch (even if not conscious)

C - Creating documents for sharing and getting Edgar Allan Wright  to share them and then the members would just reshare the original post
ADVANTAGES
Removes the stardom issue and allow the members to focus on the research completely
DISADVANTAGES
Being limited by the fact if Dr. Wright is available or not 

D - A variation of A
No rotation. We all share using the essex hashtag / credit
ADVANTAGES
This will inform the most people possible because we all have our own set of followers and will increase the chances of the maximum number of people informed.
Also, with all of us sharing information, followers will be able to crosscheck between sources and eliminate any doubts they may have about the information they're getting being fake.
Also allows sharing inside smaller/local communities
DISADVANTAGES
A higher need of coordination but nothing out of this world

E - ???


Add your opinions below and will update the post accordingly.
I would say we give one week until we make a final decision (so until 8 of December) , so we can sort out this , and avoid intel lose to the maximum possible
