You know, when I requested an article review here several months ago, I was impressed that I got almost fifty responses. "So," I think, "how many people could possibly want to review a book?" In about forty-eight hours, that comes to about 170 people. I want to publically thank everyone who volunteered. Responses came from committers, technical editors from other companies, people I've seen on -hackers for years, and countless folks who must just read -hackers in hope of achieving enlightenment. I can't possibly use everyone. Even if I had that many books to hand out to reviewers (which I don't), and even if I took all the reviewers to Taco Bell during BSDCon (all I could afford to feed that many people), I wouldn't have time to *read* that many reviews. Tonight, I'll be doing my best to wade through these volunteers and try to pick out a few. Many of you are so bloody qualified it's not even funny, and I'm extremely gratified that you're all so willing to take a chunk of your time to review a book. If you don't hear from me, it doesn't mean that I think you suck. It just means that FreeBSD has one hell of a community. :) Thanks again, Michael -- Michael Lucas mwlucas@blackhelicopters.org http://www.blackhelicopters.org/~mwlucas/ Big Scary Daemons: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/q/Big_Scary_Daemons To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
