Roger and Andrew, you have nothing to worry about. There will always be a few people who can't help themselves and need constant leading to get things done. I submitted a review last March and had more trouble getting my HTML and pictures up than with the issues David listed. I have been too busy to submit another but may do so this winter. I found the rules and help great and was never out of contact with my mentor or editoe for more then a few hours. I was bugged with the grammar gestapo but I realised that you cant' have a hodge-podge of misspelled reviews with incomplete thoughts and be taken seriously. You will alway shave people like david who need to be lead to the watering hole and then told what to do with the water...many more people though don't need quite that much supervision. On another note, I recieved an email from a guy in Tennessee(ai think it was Tenn) who had read my review and was thrilled and thanked for submitting it as he was looking at the same pack I had reviewed. He had been considering a few packs but was sold on it by my review. You can't imagine how stoked I was to hear that, and hes was so looking forward to using it on a trip with his son that he had to send me that email. Needless to say it made my week upon reading it. Keep up the good work and I'll check out the new improvements. Yours Jon Robbins
