You would not be seeing this website were not for the steady support and encouragement of my wife, Esther. I am deeply indebted to her for her patience and willingness to share me with the effort needed for its compilation.

I would like to here thank all those who took the time and trouble to fill out the on-line questionnaire.  The questionnaire is being hosted and managed by Harry Bosma in the Netherlands and I am very grateful for his expert help and kindness.

I also wish to thank Martin Gasser of the Paul Klee Center for Joomla help and also his offer to host this website.

I have had two persons who have provided immense help by translating the early French papers into English (Eve Portmann) and into German (Dr. Sommer) and I am very grateful for the excellent work they did.

I would like to also thank Prof. Sam Fohr, University of Pittsburg at Belford, for editing the initial version of what appears here.

I wish here to express my gratitude to Kei Ito for all his help in the initial stages of this website and with the data analysis.

The statistical analysis of the questionnaire data has been taken over by Simon Wandel of the Bern Institute for Social and Preventive Medicine and for this I am very, very grateful.

I hope I will soon be able to thank people who will provide website programming help. I also hope I will be able to thank sponsors and donors and all those who send in questions, account, theories, poetry, lyrics, pictures, links, leads, suggestions and comments.
