By the way...some of you may be wondering why I haven't been writing many reviews as of late, but fear not! Dr.Z just needed a mental vacation and he will be back soon enough with tons of new reviews for ya all! Promise! Just hang in there...

HOW I RATE:

I will Highly Recommend any well written, insightful review regardless of it's content. I have and often do recommend entries with opposing views, so long as they meet the above criteria, are honest and to the point.

I will Recommend those reviews that are interesting, but are flawed in some small way. If your review is disjointed, doesn't flow, or is full of spelling errors, this is the rating you'll be getting from me.

I usually don't give Somewhat Recommended ratings unless the review is about a subject near and dear to my heart that just happens to be poorly written.

I try not to hand out Not Recommended ratings at all.(Although I have run across some offensive reviews that just scream out for such a rating!)

When another epinions member rates one of my reviews, I try to make it a habit to check out their profile and rate one of their reviews as well. (BUT just because you rated one of my opinions Highly, doesn't mean I'm gonna do the same for you. I believe in HONESTLY rating all epinions.)

Those lucky people on my Web of Trust list are usually members with whom I share similar interests, or those with exceptionally well written reviews

I think the Distrust list is silly and I'll probably never use it. If I don't like someone, I'll just avoid 'em.

...but then again...
