that we have encountered with the review samples, particularly when it comes
to the measurements.And on the subject of this thread, I have published reviews that are at
least in part negative of products made by people for whom I have respect
and have also published very positive reviews of products made by people
that I would cross the road to avoid. As I tell my writers, the readers
are the ones who make it possible for you to put food on your table and
your primary obligation as a reviewer is to them.
