Nice move Wink

Let me add to this discussion that I was a bit pissed off about the first two reactions to my report. I still stand by it, but want to make clear here that my attack on Rico and Trickster being 'Prog reviewers' was completely off-topic. Apologies to both. Embarrassed

Back to the discussion - or rather, to the next one? Smile

BTW, I moved 3 posts from the Report Reviews Thread to this one as a test... in fact, the discussions about the validity or not of some reviews shall be made here. Smile

Gatot did something like that in other reviews as well. I believe that as a P.S. it's of no major problem, not at all inappropriately (a notion which some still don't understand). Plus he just sounds enthuziastic to make some publicity regarding the event.


So? I thought the first post in this forum contained a reference to some review guidelines, which I read minutes before reading this review. I'm sure he is enthousiastic,and I'm sure there's a reason he's an honorary collaborator (he write some of the best reviews on this site) but other people get referred to the forum if they 'pull a trick' like this.

Besides: the same first post on this thread requests a report and a counter-report (if desired) from the reviewer himself. If this is the way the acknowledged 'Prog reviewers' are going to counter reports made here by others, like myself, I'm out of here - richocet bullets are the last I want to catch Wink.
Especially since the word 'inappropriately' was not used by me, nor in the title of this thread.

Possibly, but that doesn't weaken my arguments above.

The remark at the end is rather useless in 5 years time.

Good point - I recheck my reviews every once in a while (I'll probably stop doing that once the few I've done grow into a larger list) and find spelling errors and awkward sentences every time.

That's a good idea, I really need to go back and revise some of my reviews because I know there are numerous spelling mistakes.
back from the dead, i will begin posting reviews again and musing through the forums

I just want to say to encourage others to spell check and read over their reviews, I'd advise everyone to write their reviews in Microsoft Word or other similar programs to ensure there are no errors or miss-information. I know many people aren’t expert English-speakers so perhaps If they are unsure as to whether their review is grammatically correct they could PM a native English speaker and ask them to read over it, I’d be happy to do this. Tongue

I’m not saying I’m perfect, or even very good, just an idea.
