Imagine haranguing someone on the internet for work they did nearly 30 years ago, and having the audacity to insist they change it.

Is simply reporting errors considered “haranguing” and “having the audacity to insist they change it”? Do you have the same attitude towards people who report bugs in your code?
it varies; sometimes people are being helpful by reporting bugs, for example because they don't know how to fix the bugs themselves, or because they're paying me to solve their problems so knowing what those problems are is the first step in getting paid, but sometimes they're just griefers looking for someone to bully

i suggest you fix the errors in your copy of the page and post the url here
