This post started out as a thread I sent around to O’Reilly’s editors list. It received a good response, so we’ve decided to add it to the “From the Editors List” section of oreilly.com. The only concern anyone expressed regarding that decision was that some authors might see it as hostile toward them, which it most defnitely is not. I have the utmost respect for my authors, and it’s great to hear when they think I’m doing a good job too.

To everyone else reading this comment, Gordon is what I’d call a model author. He never requires more than “gentle pursuasion,” and his work is always delivered in excellent and timely fashion.

I started out thinking “why would I want to read that?” and by the end decided that it would be interesting, after all.

And, I have to add that I sense more than a bit of the same gentle persuasion and other techniques in your own working style. Good show.

–Gordon
