Thanks for your feedback, Billy
Thanks also for your comment, tectak, but with all due respect feedback doesn't work that way. The critic offers his opinion on the piece, and then the writer decides whether he'll use it to improve his work. I don't think a critic should demand this and that and withhold further commentary unless the writer complies. If you can't be bothered to give me feedback, that's your perogative and I'll respect it.
