Keep cool. Quoting from the Acknowledgements:
...
The following people all provided feedback on one or more chapters
of this book, or answered specific questions on frequently-misunderstood
aspects of OpenBSD, and as such deserve my heartfelt thanks. Some
of them are OpenBSD crown princes, and others are just users who
were trying to figure out what their computer was actually doing.
What I've done right is thinks to them, and what I've done wrong
is my own fault. They are, in alphabetical order: Shawn Carroll,
Chris Cappucio, Dave Feustel, Thorsten Glaser, Daniel Hartmeier,
Jason Houx, Volker Kindermann, Anil Madhavapeddy, U.N. Owen (aka
dreamwvr), Francisco Luis Roque, Srebrenko Sehic, Matt Simonsen,
Sam Smith, Duncan Matthew Stirling, Peter Werner, and Jason Wright.
A special thanks goes out to Theo de Raadt, for taking time out of his
fiendishly busy schedule to provide special insight into the innards
of OpenBSD, for not holding back when I goofed, and especially for
sticking to his standards of freedom, despite everything the world has
to say on that subject.
...
*Feedback* may mean anything, from simple spelling errors to better
examples or pointing out of errors.
So please don't misjudge the book just because of a single person
involved.
Ciao,
Kili
