Don't give it second thought, Harry, comments like that aren't worth the space they take on your screen. The rating, however, I believe is a different matter, it's totaly unfair for you to have your work down-rated because of one reader's dislikes. I wish people like that, who feel they must air their views, would rate objectively and only comment subjectively. I think that's a much fairer way to deal with a story like this one which is well written but, in one person's opinion, just not in good taste. And, I really think that's probably what Jinn had in mind when he devised feedback format. Jinn?
