    I mus admit that I started reading this section with quite some
    suspicion. History is often biased. However, I was pleasantly
    surprised about the quality of the history. Kudos to the people who
    have put it together. The only caveat I have is the prominence of
    the GAC & SSAC advice, with ALAC being somehow considered second
    place. That might not be the fault of the reporters, but of the
    history itself.<br>
    Kindest regards,<br>
