Re: A WTF in the Oracle reference...

Actually, the publishers/authors of most books are more than willing (in fact they are dying) to listen to constructive feedback on their work.

Somethings that sound "not so smart" in books and quoted in forums:

o are taken out of context (and in context are just fine)

o are admitedly not explained well enough in the text (the author left out too much assumed knowledge, they are for the most part very much ready to revise or clarify)

o are not so smart (and need correcting, we all make mistakes)

If you were to have pointed this out to them - and they could not justify/clarify it - but just ignored it, that would be a different thing. Received on Thu Jan 19 2006 - 15:26:30 CST
