Hello,

I am finishing my thesis and wanted to base part of my word of thanks on one I recently read here. I can't find it back; it went something like this: "Thanks to all the people who, voluntarily and involuntarily, with or without knowing me, ... helped me realize this book (/thesis) thanks to the miracle of specialization."

Does anybody recalls reading such as word of thanks?

If you know the quote please be so kind to tell me or show me the source! Thanks!

PS My thesis is about innovation but I browse a lot here, although often on 'controversial' topics such as defending the undefendable. This might help in locating the quote; but I didn't manage to do so yet.

Guys (and girls), I found it!

Here it is:

Dedicated to
All the people in the world who-unknowingly and totally
disinterested in my welfare-contribute through the
division of labor, in infinite ways, to my and
my family's well-being.

Poetry to my ears :)

It's from Ayau's Not A Zero Sum Game, for those who want to know.
