I think the reader feedback is extremely valuable and agree with Faibhar (whose stories I greatly enjoy) that feedback improves the quality of the product and gives me story ideas as well as making me aware of the shortcomings in some of my previous stories. This site is excellent as you can see how many people at least looked at your story and which stories provoke more interest.

On a different note, I'm also glad that there are more Parker stories on the way as they're very well written.
