About this Member

(9th Nov '09) - I don't define "churning" in specific numerical terms. I've seen someone write seven reviews in a day, all of which were good and added value to the site: that's not churning in my book. Conversely, I've seen someone write three, all of which were clearly rushed: that *is* churning in my book. As for myself: I once wrote five in one day, but that was exceptional and I'm most unlikely to do that again. Two or three seems to be my limit while still keeping up the standards I try to achieve.

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

(8th Nov '09) - I read and rate every camera review I see. Sometimes, like today, that's less fun than it usually is. =:(

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

(7th Nov '09) - Today's Minor Whinge: there is no such word as "i". Thank you for your co-operation in this matter.

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

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 barely 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 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.
