I have to admit that I wouldn’t have kicked things off with that post if I actually thought a bunch of people were going to read it. I was blowing off steam. I have great interactions with a lot of PR people and received good responses for something written more about the parts that frustrate me than the entire whole.

I do stand by what I said, PR people have a job that works as a direct counter to mine, but I don’t fault them for it. The entire post was me setting the plate for myself: I have GO back and that particular URL does not have time for the hype.

Thanks for the linkage Lum, even if I did state the obvious

If there is no public for independent reviews, is there any hope at all?

Well, you probably ought to be concerned about providing something readable for a wide audience. Otherwise, what’s the point?

I'm with you and I don't see what would be so hard about it.

Sure, you won't make a fortune being honest, but money is not all there is.

If I can do this at a minimum cost and have fun doing it, why would I concern myself with anything else?

Which is exactly what we plan to do.

I've pointed this out before not that long ago, but in most entertainment magazines, most of the copy isn't devoted to reviews.

But Grimwell, if you want something different, you just need to go go do it yourself. And that's hard without money and the right people, isn't it?

Well, I thought it wasn't going to put you in trouble, so I decided it was okay to play outside the rules ;p

Eliminate the double nature. Team up with someone else that does do 98% reviews, and get your material from them. For that matter, network with several that do 98% reviews.

slog, you are a genius.
What if they discover your double nature?
