About bloke
I'll do just about anything once, and if I like it, I'll do it again. I don't trust anything (people, places, products) until I have personal experience with them.

That's the only way to make an honest opinion.

HOW I RATE OPINIONS
I am very frank about my ratings. Below is a list of how I normally rate opinions.

Highly Recommended
If I am to give an opinion a highly recommended rating, it must be well-written and factual, with the author's intent of honestly portraying a desire in helping product selection for those who are looking for people with real life experiences. You can't have too many spelling errors. I mean, Epinions.com already does a spell check for you. Use it.

Recommended
This is close to a highly recommended rating, but there were probably too many spelling errors for me to handle. Also, grammar counts with me(sorry, pet peeve), so if you don't know how to put it in words, don't put it in words.

Somewhat Recommended
These are opinions which have decent information and are decently written but have false information or lots of spelling errors. I rarely use this one, because I think most people on this site have a good sense of what is expected.

Not Recommended
I reserve this one for opinions which are shorter than my 2 year old nephew's vocabulary, or if they have horrid grammar (like if the whole opinion is only one sentence). Too many times I've seen users taking advantage of Epinion.com's system, writing piles of garbage that do nothing except take up space. You'll see no tolerance on my behalf for that, and a Not Recommended rating to boot.

In General
It's always nice to read an opinion that has some humor in it. A funny opinion is one which makes it more readable. Writing a funny opinion will probably help me overlook those pesky spelling errors.
