[QUOTE="Dana_Jorgensen, post: 1073454, member: 12962"] Well, RPG.net these days isn't known for being as impartial as it was back when the Antunes' owned it. During the course of listening to Sinclair's complaints about reviews not being posted (like I can do anything about that), I was shown the submission confirmation emails. There are a good 50 of them in his inbox, so over 80% of them are rejected for some unknown reason. And my work wasn't the only reviews getting high marks, either. Kind of annoying seeing so many reviews were rejected, considering the way be begged to borrow my gun books one by one. Now, as for his credibility, I think that the fact that the weapons books I've written have gotten 12 5-star ratings and 1 4-star rating out of 13 reviews should give him a little credibility. Surely 13 out of 13 people can't be wrong about my work. But of course, rather than check all those reviews, there's always the one jerk who seems to keep things going over there, some AOL user, as if that's a surprise. As for sending comp copies to those "critics", as it currently stands, piracy of those books has cost me about $6,000 in lost sales since April. I don't comp copies to anyone who isn't officially affiliated with a review site at this point.
