samslipper:
how can you make a story a favourite and not leave a comment,
I couldn't myself. But some people leave comments, some people leave comments and make favorites, while some seem to make favorites only. I don't understand it, but I guess it's better than never leaving a comment OR making a favorite.

I have to be careful how I comment as I was pilloried in the 'Bad Comments' thread for commentating that the protagonists were rather young.
"Pilloried" is a strong word for what was posted. There were also a lot of people on that thread defending what you said. Most people don't object to negative comments, when you leave negative comments, so long as they aren't personal attacks. If you generally like John Benson's stories (you must, or why would you set out to read 94 of them?), my guess is that you won't have much negative to say.
I compliment you on your contribution towards de-orphaning (another questionable word) these stories. When you're done with the John Benson ones, don't forget that there are other authors, many of them obscure, that reside in orphan-hood.
