I previously expressed my thanks to my friends Motive Nuance for their support and proofing, but this doesn't begin to cover the scope of my indebtedness.

     In the online GHB community, I have found tremendous assistance, information, and encouragement from GMaster and The Anonymous Mr. P. I have repeatedly borne witness to the great gulf between research and practical experience, and every time I have wanted for the latter these two have shared theirs unstintingly.
     I must also acknowledge the work of Chem-R-Us, local deity of alt.drugs.chemistry. Although he is frequently cruel, vulgar, and execrably jealous and petty, he Knows Stuff, and he shares it, and when every kitchen kemist who blows himself up makes it less likely the War On some Drugs will ever end, good, sober advice is not to be mocked.

     There's a real researcher.

     Sincere thanks to the librarians. You deserve mad hugs that would make more than one observer wonder if my research was crossing the line to practice.
