We've given bad reviews to products from our advertisers, and good reviews to products from companies who have flat out told us that they will never advertise with us. We're the ones who went against the grain and gave a lukewarm review to a $60,000 turntable. It's nice to wander around the Internet, talking about what you THINK you know. It's quite another to actual observe the facts and make comments based on THAT. Sadly, this is becoming the norm. Boon
