Argh! That is so annoying. As an author, you have an obligation to publish the best work possible. If you're an indie author, it's harder to get your book just right because you don't have editors and proofreaders on staff. But you have to do it because as an indie author, you're already battling against the bad reputation that comes with self-publishing. In other words, if you want to play with the big boys, don't ignore constructive criticism. (Yes, "Your spelling and grammar suck" can be considered constructivce criticism.
