     1.7 -.\"so thanks
     1.8 +Prof. Dr. Schweiggert and Dr. Borchert, you made my work
     1.9 +possible with your believe in the relevance of this topic.
    1.10 +I enjoyed my time studying in Ulm in the environment around you.
    1.11 +For me, this had been just the right place to be.
    1.12 +You have enriched my studies greatly and
    1.13 +I have learned a lot from you both.
    1.14 +Thank you.

    1.17 +This thesis is my own work, but it would be in much poorer shape
    1.18 +without the help of friends.
    1.19 +They spotted errors, bad explanations, weak argumentations,
    1.20 +and clumsy sentences.
    1.21 +Their comments and suggestions shaped this document;
    1.22 +they made it focused and comprehensive.
    1.23 +.P
    1.24 +The lady comes first, but not for that reason alone.

    1.26 +.IP "Katja Rogers
    1.27 +Your help concerning the English language and writing in general
    1.28 +was outstanding.
    1.29 +The reader will surely recognize the sentences I have never showed to you.

    1.32 +You were mmh's first user.
    1.33 +That was great!
    1.34 +Thanks for your feedback and suggestions regarding mmh,
    1.35 +as well as for your improvements of this document.

    1.50 +You have surprised me by proposing yourself to being a proof reader.
    1.51 +Thanks for your valuable annotations and quick responses.

    1.54 +You have covered the tedious tasks of double-checking the
    1.55 +changeset references and the bibliography, respectively.
    1.56 +Thank you.

    1.60 +My family supported me in times when I was busy;
    1.61 +Jean-Luc Picard and his crew took me on diverting

    1.66 +Yet, none of the aforementioned people is connected to my work
    1.67 +in the same way Lydi is.
    1.68 +All those days in Argentina when I was working long hours and
    1.69 +even on holidays instead of spending time with you.
    1.70 +All the explanations of always the same doubts and difficulties
    1.71 +I suffered from, and you just listened.
    1.72 +All the delays near the end of my work though you have wished for
    1.73 +an earlier finish. \(em
    1.74 +In spite of it all, you knew what it meant to me.
