If one wants mere advertising, well, you probably know where to go. That said, I don't mean to imply that anything improper has been said in ANY of the messages re: this book. I just hope that everyone understands this, any topic raised is raised for *discussion*. Even if someone posts a conference announcement etc someone else might jump in with "that conf is great" or "that conf has been a waste of time" (although I'd hope for more reasoned discussion) and it would be fair enough for this sort of forum. Of course all that is moderated by trying to keep to the topic of the list, the speculative discussion of technology developments in the near future.
