[QUOTE="catsclaw227, post: 4883990, member: 14197"] Yes. I agree with this, but also I believe that if those people were designated as professional reviews and were given products by anyone, then they might be writing positive and negative reviews, so I don't discount their opinion on the reviews they write about the products they like. I do, however, like to know more about the REVIEWER as it tells me where his biases lie. I have my own biases, I admit, and I bet any review I wrote would be tinged by these personal biases -- even if I didn't intend it to. So, a review is a review, and if I know the reviewer, then it helps me interpret their review. Me too here as well. It looks like my own personal likes and dislikes will be reflected by a series of quotes from other posters... I am an EnWorld Frankenstein! Ummm.... OK.. me too again. (see the pattern here?) And lastly, here too. OK, so you get what I like, but in general, during the early 3.0 and then 3.5 eras I bought a TON of pdfs based upon reviews here at EnWorld. I absolutely LOVED the review system here, way back when, and it was as important a reason EnWorld was "sticky" to me in the early days. The Reviews where why I came here. I stayed because of the conversations. [/QUOTE]
