[QUOTE="Wulf Ratbane, post: 312286, member: 94"] Well, I hope I don't give the impression of nitpicking the reviews. When I respond to a review (at least so far) it's always been in the form of, "Thanks for the review..." (since I sincerely appreciate every review) followed by, "Let's talk about what you didn't like..." Here on the ENworld reviews I witnessed a reviewer complaining about criticisms of reviews, and I was compelled to point out the irony in that. I just sat there chuckling-- as if the writer of a review is any less responsible for his work than the writer of the product being reviewed. I think if the reviewer doesn't do a good job, he is as open to criticism as a d20 publisher who hasn't done a good job. Writing reviews is no longer done in a vacuum, hit-and-run fashion. There is accountability on all sides, here at ENworld or anywhere that the reviewer invites follow-up comments to his review, and I think that's a great thing. I think the very existence of this thread hints that most people feel the same way. Wulf [/QUOTE]
