And I agreed with you. Because you asked for a response from a review writer, I said what I do as far as reviews are concerned and stayed on track with this thread, even answering why I do not review every time I see a provider with one of the answers in the poll question. The last sentence in my statement was not really directed at you, but it was a general response to guys that say reviews need to include this, not that or should be like this or that. Those guys do not post reviews themselves so I feel they do not have a leg to stand on when it comes to their opinions on how reviews should be written.

How about Bill Clark, Dennis Franchione, Charlie Weis, Bobby Hauck, Paul Johnson, Sonny Dykes, George O'Leary, Mike Leach, Hugh Freeze, David Cutcliffe. And that is just a few FSU College football coach's who have never played.
One does not have to do to be able to teach others or critique Never mistake not willing to do something with unable. One does not have to write a review to be able to recognize what elements make a poor one or a great one. Clearly many writers of reviews could use a few lessons.
You, on the other hand, have an outstanding resume of fiction writing and would do well in that area.
