      My comments:
      When I read those quotes I was really shocked of the massive difference of what we are seeing today compared to what they have said. It's really amazing to come across such thing and realize the what once thought to be impossible or silly or stupid is happening today and one of the very important STANDARDS that we should consider..

      Cheers
