We always seem to have many things derail a portion of a project. So many variables can screw up even the most generous project plan.We DO have to issue a formal release date to distributors down to the month to make solicitations but we can give only a quarterly shedule to the public. Ya know, honestly, I don't really care if the reviewer is officially a pro or not. I care mainly  that a reviewer who is out there getting reivews up in a semi-official capacity be an example to the community. Publishers should, of course, do the same. There is often far to little professional courtesy ( some one is going to flame me here I think) in the RPG market place in my opinion. Publishers and reviewers alike should never berate fan opinions (within reason, of course) or slam people for their thoughts.The thing that offended me most over the whole POLD review issue was that the reviewer chose to attack En World's review process in a nasty way and in turn attacked MEG who has never done wrong by him in any way. We cannot help how fans vote. I would never want to dicate to a fan, as a publisher or a reviewer, how I think they should rate anything.My point is, even a novice reviewer can be a pro if they act like one in their review writing and in their actions.</blockquote>
