Although he's mentioned in the wikipedia article on Apress, *** there
is no Dan Appleman *** page,

If you think that's a big deal, *write* one. Oh, but wait - you can't,
can you? Because you're banned for being a moron. I nearly forgot. Well,
ask someone else to write one for you.

I would NOT do so as a gentleman, you swine,

People who describe themselves as gentlemen and yet call other people
"swine" are unlikely to be believed.

This is as it should be. To add random unknowns whose only "claim to
fame" is that they work hard and get their names on books with narrow
appeal is innately POV unless Wikipedia becomes A Fanfare for the
Common Man, with an entry for practically *** everybody ***.

That's inevitably the way it will head - an *incorrect* entry for
practically everybody.

Your law is strange. "If it is filled with deniable malice, it must be
true".

Your response is strange, for it completely misinterprets the text to which
it replies. How you equate "incorrect" with "it must be true" is beyond
me.

As for the NPOV
tone, well, everyone knows that's a joke. Wikipedia articles express the
POV of their most recent editor.

NPOV is NOT a joke.

Sorry, I should have said "everyone except you knows that's a joke",
shouldn't I?

You don't know what you're talking about. Schildt's errors are not
confined to portability failures.

Likewise, the dark and unverifiable hint as to the scope of a person's
failings also constitutes libel, and not science.

There's nothing dark or unverifiable about Clive Feather's criticisms of
"The Annotated C Standard" or Peter Seebach's criticisms of "C - The
Complete Reference".
