Ananasi (book)

Rob "Van Dam" Hatch, for being Mr. Pay-Per-View

Justin "Credible" Achilli, for missing the card due to a debilitating injury

Conrad "Whipwreck" Hubbard, for bravely stepping into the land of beaks and feet.

Rebecca "Hirmonchan" Schaefer, for insisting on making it to the stadium on opening day.

Phillipe "Mr. Popularity" Boule, for discovering you get a lot more visitors with a dog in your cubicle.

From Brett Brooks: To Jim, for looking at me one day and saying, "Wouldn't it be fun to write a book about spiders?"; to Cliff for being a great friend with great advice - not to mention giving me my writing break; to my Mom and Dad for always supporting me; and to my loving wife Allyson, who understands me more than anyone should.

From James A. Moore: So many people to thank, and so little space...

Thanks to the internet gang: Kristin (WhiteDove), ebergese/("horsefly"), REZcat and Eeter O Brain, Matt Roberts, Bruce Baugh, Renee in New York, and a few dozen others. Your comments and insights were invaluable in making this book come together. I just wish I knew your REAL names in many cases.

Thanks to Craig Erikson who just kept coming up with interesting ways to use webs as Gifts...

Thanks to Brett: the book wouldn't have been half as good without you. Thanks to Ethan, whose guidance and patience are always powerful incentive to give my best and a little more. Thanks to Aileen Miles, 'cause you do a killer job lining up the artists and I always forget to thank you. To Bonnie for all the usual reasons, and to my family, for not thinking I'm too weird.
