To Sams and Sams.net publishing for letting me write the kind of HTML book I wanted
to see.

To the Coca-Cola Company, for creating Diet Coke and selling so much of it to me.

To all the folks on the comp.infosystems.www newsgroups, the www.talk mailing list, and the Web conference on the WELL, for answering questions and putting up with my late
night rants.

To innumerable people who helped me with the writing of this book, including Lance
Norskog, Ken Tidwell, Steve Krause, Tony Barreca, CJ Silverio, Peter Harrison, Bill
Whedon, Jim Graham, Jim Race, Mark Meadows, and many others I'm sure I've forgotten.

And finally, to Eric Murray, the other half of Ine.com, for moral support when I was
convinced I couldn't possibly finish writing any of this book on time, for setting up all my
UNIX and networking equipment and keeping it running, and for writing a whole lot of Perl
code on very short notice. (I need a form that calculates the exact weight of the person who
submits it based on the phase of the moon, the current gross national debt, and what that
person ate for dinner. You can do that in Perl, can't you:) Most of the programs in this book
are his work, and as such he deserves a good portion of the credit. Thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you, thank you.
