But I think that there is ;-) -- at least by my own slippery definition of
'controller', which can include controlling only part(s) of a 'federated'
system.

For example, Neil's chapter on rolling your own telephone PBX / VOIP is worth
the price of admission all by itself in my opinion. This was something that I
knew next to nothing about before starting the read.

I even got to like the writing style. (The "Dummy" theme grated a bit at
first.)

Well done!  Thanks for your effort. I hope that you earn a nickel or two
also.
