As someone who knows and respects Bill, I could actually have been
nudged into believing he is seriously interested in whether or not
Amazon can be gamed. Not as credulous as if he had picked any other
title to suggest for this exercise, perhaps. All I can say in his
defense beyond that, is that unlike most commercial messages that leak
onto lists, at least there was a modicum of tailoring the message to the
medium. :)
