About this Member

(19th Nov '09) - Unfortunately, simply using an automated translation program does not usually give good enough results for a particularly useful English review. You need to be able to write in English from the start.

================

(18th Nov '09) - It's always mildly scary when you see that "dooyooTeam" was one of the recent members to visit your profile. You find yourself worrying whether you've accidentally done something wrong!

================

(18th Nov '09) - At last my stats are the right way around again: since I returned last month, I've received 1,476 ratings and given 1,483. Huzzah!

================

I try to be honest, fair *and* friendly in my ratings and comments: a difficult balancing act, and I'm sure I fall over sometimes, so please do feel free to drop me a message if you have anything to say in response - or even if you just feel like saying hello. I won't mark an otherwise great piece down for the odd typo, of course, but a barely comprehensible 151-word scrawl dashed out in five minutes, with hardly any detail and no use of the spellchecker, is asking for trouble! As for crown nominations, I make them, but I don't usually comment when I do. That's a personal decision, and I don't criticise anyone who prefers to state when they nominate someone.

================

Certain of my reviews may appear on Ciao (if I can bear wading through its current mess) or Bukisa; I use the same username on both as I do here. However, in general they will be on Dooyoo first! The main exception to this would be if an item were added to Dooyoo's catalogue after I'd already written about it elsewhere.
