[ExI] Fwd: why?

[The Avantguardian]

I think it was because you restricted your offer to people "in the field". While I dabble in AI, I am nowhere near expert enough to claim to be in the field of AI. That being said, if you want to send me the book, I would certainly appreciate it. I can email you my shipping address offlist, if you want.

Free book.  Free shipping.  Rave review by Rafal.

Why is no one wanting this book?
