I'm okay with this change, but please don't launch a personal war against<br>
the playful nature of the authors' authorial voice.<br>
<br>
If there's one compliment that the book has received above all others<br>
(besides merely being solid technically) it's that it is enjoyable to read,<br>
which is not altogether common among technical books. Part of that comes<br>
from turns of phrase such as the one this change destroys. Part of it is<br>
the leisurely pace that Richard has already bemoaned. Those things are, as<br>
far as I'm concerned, as important as the technical details themselves. If<br>
you prefer a shorter, dry-er read, this might just not be the book for you.<br>
