• Wow, what a great article. It does an excellent job of describing its complex subject and its context, is impartial, and detailed to a fault. It is a recent GA, QPQs are done, hooks are in the article and referenced; it is hard to pick one, but if pressed I'd go with ALT4, because I feel it represents his character best.
