Just an aside: the publisher of this book was sending out pretty broad
"Please write this book!" messages to lots of people on various
mailing lists and Web sites. Both Oren and I received one, as well as
most of the rest of the UW Softbots group. Needless to say, while I
don't want to say anything about Mr. Williams or his writing, I did
want to mention that the publisher's standards for authors seemed
quite low.
