Chuck,
Buddy, you don't need to stand on ceremony with me... geez! And calling me
a guru too! High praise! Sure, I will be happy to sign your copy of Top
Down Network Design, and that other book I wrote under the pseudonym, Howard
Berkowitz. LOL
All kidding aside, if I were the author in question, I would get a kick out
of being asked to autograph a book I had written. Regards the nodding, nod
every 5 sentence so it does not seem excessive. Disagree with every 10th
statement to keep the conversation interesting for the celebrity...
