Prof. W. Tim G. Richardson
Richardson is a full-time Professor  at Seneca College, and concurrently teaches at the University of Toronto, (Scarborough Campus, and, Mississauga Campus) 
By 2002, witiger.com had become the largest web page in Canada for anybody teaching at the college or university level. This achievement could not have happened without the support, encouragement and contributions of the thousands of students I have taught since the site was first launched in 1997.
updated 2006 Nov 27
 
This is my way, of showing acknowledgement, respect and appreciation for the many (97) students that contributed directly to the building of witiger.com
- or as they say in Malvern "showing props"

- organized by alphabetical order of last name
- in all cases, written permission was asked before posting names and pics, if somebody decides later they would not like their name or pic here, email the professor and it will be removed - hard copies of "permission emails" kept on file

Then a domain name registrar would be the star's agency because without registering, you basically are nothing.  Then, a hosting service would resemble a movie producer, as this is where all the work goes...." http://www.witiger.com/ecommerce/domainnamesregister.htm
