The Alinement Network is a community-based website. There is a multitude of voices to be heard here and as such, not everything you read will necessarily represent the views of the publisher or editors.

While we encourage our contributors to be controversial, and sometimes even heretical, the opinions expressed are often rethorical in nature and do not constitute advice - that comes when you pay our contributors consulting fees or buy our products.

The site aims to allow all parties to engage in a robust but respectful exchange of ideas, concepts and views. That can only happen if we are free to make bold statements and challenge the status quo - safe in the knowledge that our international audience will seek independent and professional advice before accepting or applying the material found on this site.
