777-1: Feedback, Notes and Comments

New format Your comments were overwhelmingly positive. So I shall continue sending both formats each week. It's particularly good to learn that older subscribers report that the formatted version is easier to read and that it works well on smartphones and tablets.

Many readers noted exclamation marks in the middle of a couple of words. These weren't typing errors but were inserted by e-mail software because some paragraphs were too long. I've changed the coding method to prevent this happening again.

Some readers complained that lines were too long in some readers or that the fonts were too small. Lines can usually be shortened by reducing the width of the viewing window — the text will reformat to fit it. Font sizes can often be changed through a local setting. However, I've amended the code to set a maximum length for lines and also changed the font specification slightly. In response to other requests, I've added links to key pages on the website, including the online version of each issue.

Errors Apart from the intrusive exclamation marks, subscribers also noted that I'd referred to the forward of a book when of course I meant its foreword and that I'd misspelled Sebastian Junger's name in one place. The phrase when it's at home, in the question about perfect storm, lost its apostrophe in one appearance (more about the expression below). Apologies.
