The review is of products competing for purchase, rather than one in a series of events, so a "con" somewhere gives the verisimilitude of balance, and thus the author credibility for the next review. Perhaps they are also a little less courageous, so if the product is later found to be run like a one-legged dog then the author can refer to their critical bits :-) cheers David > > _______________________________________________ > use-revolution mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution > _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
