Newest Review: ... There's a search engine you can use - but it's a bit confusing. I had to run a search to get into the archives. Site navigation is poor and not very user friendly. The small, white serif typeface is tiring to read across the dark graphic background. (Why don't sites who think a black background is cool give some consideration to readability when they select their typefaces?). All in all I found the site a bit dull and pointless. But to be fair, someone has gone to a lot of time and trouble to set it up and keep it updated. There are many year's worth of archives - so it must have taken ages to type all the summaries.
