Sigh.  Common misconception.  David L. Stevens is at Purdue and writes
books with Doug Comer.  I'm William Richard Stevens, have written 3 books
by myself, and the referenced book in this thread with Gary Wright.  (I
tried to find a coauthor named Comer, and even asked Gary to change his
name, just to confuse things more, but he wouldn't agree.)  I do read
(but not write) books with another David Stevens, but he's my 3-year old. :-)
