Making use of feedback

About a week ago I got my one hundredth comment on 'The Book of Ages' on the Authonomy site. It was certainly a milestone and I don't think I ever expected to get that many. Many of the comments have been encouraging; some have been critical. the ones that I have valued the most are of the 'constructive criticism' type - ones where there have been suggestions for improvements.
In fact, one of the reasons for being rather inactive on both the Authonomy site and this blog is that I've been restructuring the chapters (both the ones on Authonomy and all the other ages), inserting section headings. along the way this has prompted rewrites of some of the material. I've had some feedback that this is an improvement, which is also valuable.
The next thing I have to work on is a comment which wanted to see more of the humour. It's nice to know that someone recognised the humour in the book - now all I have to do is to bring more of that to bear.
