I am currently doing a survey on the attitudes and
beliefs of people working in the field of AI. It would be
very much appreciated if you could take the time to save this
notice, edit in your answers and post me back your reply.
If there are any interesting results, I'll send them
to the net sometime in the future.
-Thanks
