Over the course of the article, I tried to show as many different ways of doing something as possible, without assigning judgment as to the "right" way to do something.

If you point out instances where I only documented the old syntax, let me know, and I'll add newer examples as well.

The point is that in every single topic you touch where there is a more modern way to do it, if you mention that modern way, you do it as an aside; instead of first showing the modern way of doing it, and then mentioning as an aside that there is an insane way of doing it.

Wow. Author asks for bug reports ... you explain it's all buggy and don't provide a single example.

For your sins, I'm going to see if I can convince the author to get it into a repository and then I'm going to give you a commit bit ... :D
