But they do a LOT more than checking grammar and spelling. Their real job is to make sure the review is a good and accurate description of the gear and will be of value to the reader. The (volunteer) Moderators are another bunch, who look after the organisation of the Tests. > but no-one seemed prepared to update the lessons that > describe how to get started. Ah - no. There has been a major effort to get all the 'rules' and guidelines together into one place. This project has recently been completed. But the best place to start is at the Home Page of BGT, where there is an item 'How to become a Tester'. This leads to: http://www.backpackgeartest.org/lesson.php?lesson=BecomeTester&page=1 But, we can always try to make this clearer. We will note the comments and keep trying. Thanks for the feedback. Cheers Roger Caffin
