I'm sorry, but I don't see the issue here. It shows the writer has support and can guage which parts are the most succesful and they can then understand why.

I wanted reader input, but got very little. Asking for feedback and simply a congratulations one line of "Great Story, Keep it up" can really be a big encouragement.

The writer is writing this of his own free will. Asking for encouragement and support is the least he can ask for in return.

I don't mean to be rude, but either put up or shut up. It's not harming you in anyway is it?

EDIT: Good Arguements keep it up :P (sorry couldn't resist)
