I would really appreciate - no, love it - if I as a commentor was allowed to EDIT my own comments (typos - or even DELETING them if worked into your text).
Next it would feel great if you / OReilly somehow would set a "flag" indicating that - or IF - a comment is/will be used to improve this book. Some older ones were evidently NOT used ...
There's a heck of a lot of missing 'the's and 'a's and mismatches of singular/plurals - too many to add comments every time I see one. Hope someone edits it for those.
Ofter, the add a comment link wasn't showing up near paragraphs where I had a comment, so some comments not exactly near the relevant text.
