   Wow -- that's surprising!  Not that it was boring, but that   
   the India-respondents were so negative.  Was it just India and   
   the US, or are other countries represented?  How old is this   
   book?  I think I'll go find it and browse it in the bookstore (on   
   your dis-recommendation!  Thanks).
