Hehe, yea, I guess I was just bothered by the fact that the posts
started appearing without any sort of introduction and were more
like essays than reviews. The reason I called it spam was due to
the unsolicitated nature of the sharing, as well as the fact that
links to a website were included where presumably these reviews
reside--perhaps a means to drive traffic to that site.

Though, yea, I will grant that at least it's on topic! Or, at least
I presume--I didn't actually read them! So yea, dude, introduce
yourself or something, say what's up, and we probably won't bite.

And Vince, post in here every now and then, dammit, lest you find
yourself replaced! ;)
