+ <emphasis>Samba-3 by Example</emphasis> would not have been written except
+ as a result of feedback provided by reviewers of the book <emphasis>The

+ I am deeply indebted to a large group of diligent people. Space prevents
+ me from listing all of them, but a few stand out as worthy of mention.
+ Jelmer Vernooij made the notable contribution of building the XML production
+ environment and thereby made possible the typesetting of this book.

+ Samba would not have come into existence if Andrew Tridgell had not taken
+ the first steps. He continues to lead the project. Under the shadow of his
+ mantle are some great guys who never give up and are always ready to help.
+ Thank you to: Jeremy Allison, Jerry Carter, Andrew Bartlett, Jelmer Vernooij,
+ Alexander Bokovoy, Volker Lendecke, and other team members who answered my
+ continuous stream of questions &smbmdash; all of which resulted in improved content
+ in this book.

+ My heartfelt thanks go out also to a small set of reviewers (alphabetically
+ listed) who gave substantial feedback and significant suggestions for improvement:
+ Roland Gruber, Luke Howard, Jon Johnston, Alan Munter, Tarjei Huse, Mike MacIsaac,
+ Scott Mann, Ed Riddle, Santos Soler, Mark Taylor, and Jérôme Tournier.

+ My appreciation is extended to a team of over 30 additional reviewers who

+ <para>
+ Particular mention is due to Lyndell, Amos and Melissa who gave me the
+ latitude necessary to spend nearly a entire year writing Samba documentation.
