- First, I really did want to thank all the people who've sent in suggestions
- on the FAQ! There have been many good ideas, references, and etc. There
- should be an added contributor section on the cover.

- Yes, it is difficult to satisfy everyone as I have found in the past. But I
- did try to stay objective with the primary languages and ideas in the field.
- There were a few occasions where I strayed, such as with object (and even
- generics) and these are being cleared up. As far as staying with the commonly
- asked questions, I tried to recall what I'd seen before and know that many,
- many commonly asked questions remain to be added; its in progress! If you
- notice any missing perpetuitous questions, please send them in.

- Happy New Year!
