Well, Bela, no offense meant, but it's a public newgroup.  I 
respect your opinion, but I don't agree with it, and unlike 
certain other venues, I can continue to express my opinions
here in spite of your dislike of them.

I've been reading and posting to this newsgroup since 1991.  I 
haven't seen the benefits you claim.

It is my opinion that you are wrong in this regard, and nothing you
have said has changed my opinion.  However, I've put everything you
have had to say on my site, and later on will cross reference it
so that my odious opinions are balanced by yours.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
