This chapter simply exists for me to name the names of people who have performed above and beyond the call of duty in localising endless versions of FinderPop, isolating weird bugs, coming up with stonkingly good suggestions, indulging in gross bribery, and generally being good eggs, etc.
If and when FinderPop ever goes 窶弃intware窶 again, persons listed herein are hereby entitled to click on the 窶廬 got turly a pint窶 checkbox and be dazzled by the bewildering array of flashing lights, rude noises and Macsbug crashes which result.
Note: names are in no particular order, just gotten from going over the first couple of hundred emails in my 窶廡inderPop窶 email folder 窶 of which there are over 5000 emails, and I reckon I窶况e replied to at least half of 窶册m, so now you know where my time窶冱 going...

Hall of Shame
This bit is here for people who manage to piss me off, if you窶冤l pardon my French. (It takes some doing, but two people have managed it so far, although I don窶冲 think they窶况e noticed 窶 how does 23 fractious emails [to all of which I felt I had to reply] in one day from some miscreant sound?) Despite the almost cloying cheerfulness/friendliness of the replies I send to these people, I can only maintain a cheerful facade for so long without resisting the urge to get some form of revenge by including anagrams of their names here. Since they definitely don窶冲 read manuals,they窶冤l never know窶ｦ
