You know, carrying around that much hostility is not good for you, my friend. Relax a bit or you'll hurt yourself. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />The Lord knows i am not a conformist, but that view of EN World seems quite out of line with what i see around here. Of course, i could be brainwashed....ya never know. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I like the review system the way it is. Leaving it this way is the only way to insure its validity. Making changes to skew the results(whatever the intent) kills the value of the whole, in my mind. If the Review Pages are going to be a community effort and not a "post here, but only if you think like me" pit trap, then why bother at all?? We have to take the bad with the good. Not everyone thinks alike, heh?I don't think anyone here is giving the fans any credit what so ever. They can look at a set of reviews and know when someone is grinding an axe or giving an honest and informed review. Especially if the product has 10 people giving it a 5 and 1 person giving it a 1 or 2.Another point i'd like to make is that we, as a review community, need to develope a thicker skin as well. It can get quite testy around here when someone writes a review or states an opinion that doesn't gibe with the gen-pop view.I myself got blasted pretty good when i gave a 3-rating to the LGG. Even i gave what i am convinced (and still a 100% so!!) were several good reasons why. I got all kinds of stuff thrown at me, from comments, cold shoulders in the forums, and even a couple nasty emails. I only mention this because i didn't react very well to the criticism  and should have had a thicker skin. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I think its quite fair to ask the Publishers to have a thicker skin, but only so long as we give them the same courtesy when they have an issue or two with our reviews.BTW, your welcome on the Foundation review, Psion!! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />If my (and the other's) review of the product helped anyone else from spending hard earned money on that book, it takes the sting of the money i dropped on it!! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
