Well, there is a first time for everything, I suppose, isn't there? Don't you just love my clichés? ;)

...how much truth I see in the following statement.

"...at the end of the day my personal opinion of my work is still the most important opinion to me."

Thank you for your magical pearls of wisdom, sir! :)

Actually it was a condensation of most of the other commandments, but I guess in a way it could count as an 11th. :-D

Thanks for the rather pointless rubber stamp, it always makes my day!!!

Hey Lisa!

You're not the 50th person at all... in fact, you're only the 47th... :-P

Let me guess, I'm only the 50th person to use that line? Well, what do you expect, tell someone not to touch something because of wet paint will ensure hundreds of fingerprints.

Nice guidelines, though.

I enjoyed your quote

A little craziness also helps get you noticed - my insanity is 100% natural, but some try to make out they’re mad when in reality they’re worryingly sane.

It recently debuted on my weekly top 100 quote list and is approaching the top 40. Good job!

I'm writing this gratuitous comment just so you can reply to it!

But, no, really, Dave, you are such a god of Epinions reviews! It just doesn't get any better than this, and if I ever am able to become part of your blessed WOT by following your Ten Commandments ('cause you know, I'll have to break at least one...) and stroking your ego with worship and praise, I'll just be the happiest little...what am I anyway???

Hope your break helps you think of the perfect entry to my you-know-what...(aren't I good, not advertising my write-off in your comments?) (Oh, shucks, what have I done?)

;)

Well I can hardly not reply to this comment now, can I?!?!? :-P (It does take a worrying amount of time someties, I'll give you that!)

"Ya see, besides this being a good essay, others have helped by putting in little "add-on". " - ah, isn't that what the whole "Community" thing is about?

Replying to comments This is a point that I have to say I really need to work on. In thinking about it there have been some I never got back to and yes, I suppose that is rude. I am now bowing my head in shame.

Thanks for that tip.

Ya see, besides this being a good essay, others have helped by putting in little "add-on".

Good stuff!

Glad you liked it!

Actually I'm taking a short break from writing anything new at the moment... I'm just too busy to spend much time on eps right now, and I'd like to keep on top of my reading / rating. But I'll be back!

Re: Good suggestions (Reply to this comment)

"Ever since I realized that I can rate a whole page of "express reviews" in the "just in" area with one "submit" I have started rating a lot more express reviews" - yeah - going through them one at a time is pretty tortuous!!

Personally I'd like to have the time to comment on almost every review I read - but sadly my day doesn't have the extra hours it would need to do it!

Good suggestions (Reply to this comment)
by msmarques
Ever since I realized that I can rate a whole page of "express reviews" in the "just in" area with one "submit" I have started rating a lot more express reviews.

When I have more time I'll add some comments, but at least this gets the reviews rated.

Hey Grandpa! (If it's okay to call you that?!??)

Thanks - I hope the suggestions were useful (yeah okay so I called them "commandments" - but that was poetic licence...)

How many times does a girl have to use the F-word in a review to get over the Barney thing. Sheesh. Another member hit me in my comment section too.

Massive Preesh!

thou shalt, if you're in the mood and all (Reply to this comment)
by voxpoptart
I think it's awfully pushy of you to call them "commandments". How about "the eleven suggestions"? That said, i don't feel like disagreeing with any of them; taking breaks, in particular, is important. Besides, if i'm always days late in rating/commenting on everything, because of breaks, i catch people when they aren't O.D.'d on compliments already. (Or at least, that's a cute theory, huh?)

cheers,
