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. :-) Rich Stevens
