let's just quietly "consider the source," and even encourage the less experienced guys . . . give them suggestions on how to improve their reviews, and tips on what people are looking for when they read a review.
peace and love to all . . . badshot

Bad, new folks to the site who don't post good or reasonble reviews are not really a problem; as you note, we can suggest better. If, after seeing good reviews and getting gentle ribbing and nudging, they consistently post crap, there is the ignored user function. The real problem is people not using the reviews for reviews. Charlest said it best (as he often does, darn)-- a review is a ball review, not a comment on a post or someone's review.

I wrote one for the Hot Wire if anyone's interested. A good review, I mean.

Right=Correct
Left=WRONG
Any questions?
I read it. Perfectly solid, reasonable review. If everyone gave that information...it'd be nice.

it would be nice if there were a moderator available for this site that could delete BS commentary and abusive users.

The weekly signature series, by Hamster.
The local grocery store has an aisle for which the overhead display of the items it contains reads:
Baby Food
Baby Care
Beer
Makes sense to me . .

One thing I would like to point out - I thought Philip Marlowe's "30s detective novel" style review of the Barrage was great. I LMAO.
Bulwer-Lytton, here we come.
I agree. I think it was brilliant.

I'm not sure why there has to be a civil war. If you think somebody's ball reviews are a waste of time why not just add them to your ignore list and move on with your life?
Jerry,
Remmeber that it's not just us who have been here for a long while, it is also for the sake of the newbies who read this trash and think these are proper ball reviews.
(No, I don't really want to be anyone's guardian angel, but I also don't want to see this website, which has proven to be such a valuable resource to go down the tubes.)

I am not sure to whom you are replying, but thanks anyway. I have no further need to see anything of what Hammer(whatever) says. He, like a little spoiled child, has called both me and himself names that are extremely inappropriate among adult conversation. He no longer exists, as far as I am concerned.

When did they start letting 13 year old junior high kids on the boards? I can just see them gathered around the monitor: "...and watch what I put in THIS time - this'll stir the old farts up. Does 'Dick' have one or two "k's?" "HEEE HEEE , Giggle, Snort".
zzzzzzzzzzz.....
