Hi all,


It was brought to my attention last night that I had apparently given Playlover's JCS two stars in the review I wrote about it.

Not true at all. I have no idea what the stars mean. What do they mean Grant?

Thanks, Craig. Entirely correct, of course.

or perhaps it was that, apparently believing that quantity is a fair equivalent for quality, RM not only posts extremely lengthy reviews, but chooses to copy and paste them across a couple of message boards?

:-)

I think, re-posting the same message on multiple boards is generally regarded as poor netiquette. It's commonly referred to as flooding, as it tends to fill message channels with repeats of the same item. It is at the very least a mild annoyance for everyone on the mailing list as they receive a copy of every duplicate message posted.

I know that i've given poor star ratings to people deliberately flooding the message boards, somehow RM missed out this time - perhaps because i appreciated the lengths he's gone to in order to provide a comprehensive review?

Cheers
Grant
