Acknowledgments

People sometimes ask me how many books I've written. I never have the answer. You see, I've contributed to well over a dozen (maybe two dozen or more) books in one form or another, be it a chapter or two here, a section there, a rewrite of an existing title with much new material, a revision of another edition where the existing material is already pretty good (as was the case for this book), or an original, authored work. The short answer is: I don't know. It's really somewhat difficult to claim that I, alone, wrote a book. At best I put some words down into a word processor and several other people look them over, edit them, change them for both technical and grammatical usage, and the end result is my name on the cover or somewhere in the book, or sometimes not at all.

This brings me to the difficulty at hand. I've written a sufficient number books that writing acknowledgments is becoming a bit mundane. Sure, I'll thank my wife, Rebecca, and son, Jakob, for their patience while I wrote this. I'll thank my family for their continued support. I'll thank the Tueschers, Heins, Leus, and Guthries. I'll thank Jason Keup and Aaron Saray, too. I'll thank my agent Neil Salkind at Studio B., Jim Oliva and John Eckendorf, and the 90fm staff along with Nightmare Squad.

Of course, I'll thank Tim and Rob @ Partners, and Jay, Deb, and Brian, and Andy Hale and Eliot Irons and the SecAdmin team. Kyle Mac always gets mad if I don't include him. There are lot of people at Knob Hill ...
