>>Hi Nadya,
>>I vehemently disagree.
>>People who post files are doing so to help others, not to market or maintain a product, which would be released through other means. I don't think it's fair to put any burden on a file's author as to feedback ... the author should be free to indicate a willingness to entertain comments in a README or other mechanism.

Simply looking at how many people downloaded the file is only a testament to how attractive the description made the file look (and how long its been available), not whether it's worth a damn.

Erik, I agree 100%. John must be just inundated with feedback ;-) There is always the risk that someone may post malicious feedback - but I guess if that was at odds with the rest of the feedback then anyone with more than two neurons to rub together would smell a rat! Nadya's idea is great.

I've had zero feedback across the board. Despite dropping some seriously big hints that it is welcome (by sheer coincidence see message #429994 posted just three days ago).

Another addition I would like to see is a way of seeing all of an authors contributions at the moment I am relying on the link below.
