Andy,
Great read! Good compilation of historical facts.
UASF was a historical milestone triumph for the Bitcoin community where it was manifested that the users are in control of BTC's destiny and not the ill-intentioned figureheads and miners.
One slight detail to add is that BCash was created a few days before the UASF took effect.
The malicious actors "ran to the front of the parade" a few days earlier hoping to diminish the importance of the UASF event that was imminent it would occur.
Great win for Bitcoin! The "Civil War" was over!
Now we have SegWit activated and a clear path for further innovation.
