I used to be a Choice subscriber until I found that the issues raised became 
less and less relevant and useful to me.

Seems to me that, as was mentioned in the missive posted by Dave H,  they 
occasionally step outside their area of competence and stuff-up and instead of 
being "big enough" to acknowledge the error, insist on a waffle cloud to cover 
up. If truth be known, it seems to be that they don't do a "fairly good job" 
of covering technical areas as soon as they step outside general issues and 
attempt to give the reports additional strength by adopting technical terms 
etc.
