I am glad to oblige!
Now, if I could get some guidelines, I'd much appreciate it. I am working on
- mushy comments and blind adoration of all that's being written
- invention of a weird new name to work into my messenger names or e-mail (may I suggest ScullyLith?)
- excessive pouting when being ridiculed by others for my odd behavior.
Is there anything I forgot? Please, some input!
Oh, and sorry... I have to do this part time, since I've gotten a new stalker contract with Agent Powers. I hope that's not too much of an inconvinience!

Thanks, you happilyfunneledmonkey you!
But, sir, you are not aghast. You may, however, like me, be four-assed.

Well.. somebody'd have to get George Clooney to open an Epinions account.
Ah well.. okay, fine. Couple it is.
Double the work load, half the fun. Isn't it ALWAYS like that? And then they call it a promotion... psha!

Well Petra, you could continue to stalk, but only if you're into couples. If you choose, however, to move on to a different target, I'd suggest George Clooney. Hell, I'd almost stalk that guy.
Of course, I'd miss all the attention. The only person to stalk me, prior to you, was a creditor.

darn this! I see all my stalking efforts going down the drain...
Can I get a new volunteer stalkee? (sorry, Monolith, until we found a replacement or Agent Mop-N-Glo forks over that Owen Wilson she lent out to some bar chick, you're it)

Re: Re: Re: Re: I didn't even read your review... (Reply to this comment)
by blackmonolith
jiwhite,
Ugh.
You just said, "I'm not confused by your comments at all."
Yes, actually, you continue to be confused. I now nominate you for Poster-Boy Of Confusion.
Then you just said, "Your original comment clearly indicated that you believe that I didn't read your review before rating it."
Yes, that's right. But you didn't interpret my words so amazingly well the first time around when you originally replied, "If you're assuming that I didn't read your entire review...you're wrong."
Back to your most recent comment, you continued with, "I don't know where you got the 15 seconds from. It took several minutes to read your review. I suggest you check your timepiece and sense of time. Unfortunately, there are no public time stamps on reviews and ratings to settle this discussion objectively."
This is how it worked, brainiac. I posted my review. (You with me so far?) Then I took a deep breath, content with the knowledge that my freshly posted, consumerly-helpful™ review kicked all ass. This moment lasted anywhere between 15 and 15 seconds. Then I clicked on the View Your Review link. The page loaded immediately, and your rating was already there waiting for me.
Do ya get it? Do ya finally get it? Now, please, just go away. Whether you've been lying, or were too stupid to remember having rated before reading (and too stupid to argue while keeping the facts and words straight)... I think, I hope, I pray, that this issue is now at rest. Bye bye!

Sky,
I honestly don't know how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop. errr... MH's to equal an over-all MH rating. lol
I would assume it should be as any other rating when taking over the over-all status. But I just don't know. It would appear that is a subject that is worthy of conversation. I will ask about that and report my findings.

Thank you so much! Yup, the site is superb. Sooooo. Purb.
Taking my usual crude path toward descriptiveness, I'll say that if I were a girl, I'd spread for Crucial.com.

Re: Re: I didn't even read your review... (Reply to this comment)
by blackmonolith
jiwhite,
Look again at the comment I left for you, buddy. I didn't say that you didn't read my review. I said:
"I didn't even read your review...
....nor did you even read mine before rating it VH."
This allows for the fact that you may have read my review, but there's no way in hell you read it before rating it, because 15 seconds passed between the initial posting and the application of your rubber stamp.
But who am I to turn down a VH?
You said, "I'd rather you didn't rate my reviews if you're not reading them."
Well, I did not rate your review. I simply left a comment where I knew you'd see it, calling you out as a lowly rubber-stamper. That's all.
Man, you are quite the confused one, ain'tcha?

by pogomom
Darling Sky:
Wow, wow, wow, wow, you didn't miss a trick! You really did find the best deal. I checked my usual sources (even TigerDirect.com) and their prices were higher for the same module.
The PNY (TigerDirect) Memory Configurator did not list our notebook model which knocked them out of the running. You done good baby! Me an da boyz, weez prouda ya!
Thanks so much for the mention - I'm beaming with pride and setting off motion detectors for miles. Whatta review! - it definitely deserves the suddenly elusive MH rating.
With extreme adoration,
Agent Stargazer

Re: Re: Re: :-) (Reply to this comment)
by blackmonolith
Aud,
I appreciate your attitude about my comment earlier. I've been a bit hyped up today on this whole Missing MH thing. Still, where's my MH?
Heh heh. No, I've never seen an "Overall MH" review. I'm surprised that you have, because I thought they just plain didn't exist. Just the other day, as my Dell review was gathering ratings... of the first 7 ratings, 6 were MH, the other was VH. Shouldn't that translate into "Overall MH"? After seeing that, I figured the Overall system was a bit sketchy.
Now, lemme get this straight. Are you saying that, unless enough MHs are added to make a review "Overall MH," individual MH ratings really only amount to VHs? To rephrase... are you saying that a review with an MH:VH ratio of 4:6 wouldn't list higher in the review ranks than one with a 2:8 ratio?
If so, that's news to me. I thought that every individual rating had an effect on the review's placement ranking. If not, then what's this electoral college bullshit?
Thanks for the kinds words, Aud, but I'm not sure Epinions has "littleredhead.com" or "persiankitty.com" in their database. I was all set to pen a web review last year on Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball, but all they had available was Yahoo! Fantasy Blister Popping. Also, I was ready to write about NetFlix two years ago, before its popularity exploded (I was an early subscriber), but this, too, was absent from their db for ages (and probably still is!).
Thanks again,
Sky (more MH-worthy than a box o' chaulk lets)

Re: Re: :-) (Reply to this comment)
by bluehawq
lol - I am NOT stingy though your review far exceeds mine in greatness. (honest ingine) But it takes way to many MH's to equal an over-all MH and a VH gets you to the top as easily as an MH would. ACK! Has anyone seen an over all MH? I saw one. Don't even remember where or what it was. But I have seen one.
You should write in this category more often.

"Awesome"? Thank you very much (sincerely), but I think MOST HELPFUL is a better description. Don't be stingy with that access-only button just 'cause you wrote one on Crucial too!

If you're assuming that I didn't read your entire review, http://www.epinions.com/content_62393716356, because it's very long, you're wrong. It may include extraneous information, but it does discuss the website in detail and deserves a Very Helpful. I'd rather you didn't rate my reviews if you're not reading them.

Yup, sure did! This'll sound pompous, but I'm really pissed that I couldn't get this posted before Eps yanked our MH button, 'cause I just know it's the most helpful review of the bunch. Fargin ice holes. Know any blue hats? Send 'em over!
Thanks for your kind words, Andrea. Be sure to tell Silvia that I wanna have her children. Or that I want her to have my-- aw, forget it.

Great read! I'll never buy memory over the net (hardware idiot) but if I ever get smarter, I'll check Crucial out. Should I tell Sylvia you sent me?
