For those interested in more detailed background,
Steve held a seminar on his book over on pkt several
months ago. It was quite lively with extensive commentary
and discusssions. Much of the book is very punchy and
it is well written, but in places it kind of gets lost on tangencies
and wanders about too much.
I apologize that I do not remember the website address
for the pkt archives.
