I'm not announcing to the world that I am planning on writing a
review, so my qualifications are inconsequential. I was merely
offering Thomas my opinion on his endeavor. People will make no
buying decisions based on my particular post quoted above.
People do make buying decisions based on reviews. $30 or $40 does
not come easy to many.
Your concept of stating the perspective and qualifications of the
reviewer is a noble one, but rarely followed in the real world.
Bogus magazine reviews abound, as any serious simmer can attest
to. Ergo, IMHO reviews are best left to 'highly experienced'
gamers and/or professionals in the simulation's field. FYI, I'm
neither, but I've been around. And I _do_ know what
loading/unloading is <g>.
