Acknowledgements
According to Lao Tzu, ‘Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.’ And certainly, this site would not exist but for the many kindnesses and support of a small army of people – so here’s thanking you.
Special acknowledgements go to Alex Quin for developing the site and to those people who have given up – and are giving up – their time to be interviewed, to write for or provide other material for the website. Each piece should provide individual thanks, but we would like to take this opportunity to do so again. You can never have too much appreciation, after all.
