I will
also ask Schildt, with whom I have had private communication (he
thanked me for fixing his wikipedia biography) to join us, and
hopefully end your destructive use of this facility.

Bring him on. We can ask him when he's going to publish errata for
all those bugs in his books.

Books don't have bugs: software does.

Programs can have bugs. Books (about programming) can have programs.
Therefore, books can have bugs.

For that matter, books have erratta, which are corrections to bugs in the
orignal book (for a liberal-enough definition of bug).
