(I'm bored, so I'm responding to the troll today. This is a one off ... it'll be out of my system after this)

yet a mere 2 out of the 10 reported errors were actually fixed! wow! is that a performance that you all believe that you can feel proud of?

Did you actually send that to the errata e-mail address on PG? Or just post it here where everyone has learned to tune you out? unless you send it to the errata email, no one is going to act upon it. The 2 that were fixed were very likely fixed because someone else DID forward them to the correct place. If you yell out of your front door, it is unlikely that Congress will hear and pass a new law. If you point out errors in books to people OTHER than the ones who fix it, it is unlikely that the right people will hear about it and fix the issues.

p.s. if jim's thinly-veiled insults persist over at d.p., i'll have to start posting in those forums in response; is that _really_ what you guys want? think about it...

Who's veiling the insults? We insult you quite openly when you deserve it. The problem is you're like a demon. Saying your name invokes the evil to appear. Josh
