For what it's worth, I have included in my FAQ the most literate and,
in fact, reasonable criticism, as a FAQ item (received by EMail). I
did not attribute the author, but I provided in that same paragraph
my own side of the story and promised to do as better as circumstances
would permit in the future (mostly the crit was for expired URL's).
Some months later, that same individual solicited me for an
"op ed" item in the topical journal he edits. Now, there are
trolls and there are wackos, but I've always felt that admitting
shortcomings and promising (and trying) to do better has a
positive effect, if the criticism is not, in fact, an ad nominem attack.
