Here we say nice things in public about our reviewers to make up for all the rude things we said to them in private: Todd Miller, Sharon Hopkins Rauenzahn, Rich Rauenzahn, Paul Marquess, Paul Grassie, Nathan Torkington, Johan Vromans, Jeff Haemer, Gurusamy Sarathy, Gloria Wall, Dan Sugalski, and Abigail.

We'd like to express our special gratitude to Tim O'Reilly (and his Associates) for encouraging authors to write the sort of books people might enjoy reading.
