First and foremost, we express undying gratitude to Carl Wagar. Carl is the proprietor of Ottawa-based EntreNet, an ISP that provides Web hosting, site design and a variety of other services; he hosts the Humour-Net list and site for free because he is a truly wonderful person. We'd also like to give David "HTMLBUM" Amaral our profound thanks for designing and building this terrific web site. Check out his great site. Hint: roll your mouse over his chest to see his portfolio! Muchas gracias to all Humour-Net readers, without whom Humour-Net wouldn't make a whole lot of sense, and many of whom also supply Humour-Net material. Also Mike Elgan (of Mike's List), Michael Quinion (of World Wide Words), Chris Pirillo (also known as " the Lockergnome ") and Randy Cassingham (of This Is True, Randy's Random, etc.) for providing occasional publicity. A special thanks to my former colleagues at Learning Tree International, where it all started - especially the techies who sent me great jokes, all written in C++ and perl script. I learned so much from each of you! And I'd like to thank my agent, my acting coach, my mom and dad and brother ... and the late, lamented Douglas Adams, who was an inspiration to us all. Last but definitely not least - eternal thanks to my husband Jeff Gale for his indulgence and his occasional participation in my little hobby. Believe me, it is not easy for him to shut up and let me write or edit something!
