Yeah, the "author" seems to have had little understanding of the
volatility of information resources on the Net. My Red Dwarf FAQ is
mentioned in the "Genre: Other Sci-Fi" chapter, which is fine with me --
but the blurb cites several of the questions in the FAQ, one of which
had to do with an ongoing criminal case that has since been concluded.
Committing that information to paper was foolish; it was out of date
before it ever reached bookstores.
