I virtually ignore all reviews on the web now except for friends I trust, like you.nephite blood spartan hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17092519999184585295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4593182832464558023.post-16652170055666117992012-08-28T15:07:02.335-05:002012-08-28T15:07:02.335-05:00I guess I've not visited the right sites, beca...I guess I've not visited the right sites, because this was news to me. I shouldn't be surprised, I suppose. <br /><br />And the quote (probably wrongfully) attributed to P. T.

I would not be willing to pay for such a review<br />B. I couldn't feel good about myself touting such a thing<br />and<br />C. I know, that soon enough nobody is going to give a damn about such reviewers and they will lose their clout<br /><br />It's one of those things like Vanity Publishers that I am amazed are still in business. There must just be that many shifty people still around to prey upon how many naive there are.nephite blood spartan hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17092519999184585295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4593182832464558023.post-10358877974506911192012-08-28T13:15:39.295-05:002012-08-28T13:15:39.295-05:00Yes, I did.

I'm still playing catch up from the move, or I would have already had a review up.<br /><br />It wouldn't have occurred to me, either. Every time I think I've heard of all the ways people can be dishonest, someone comes up with another.Adventuresfantastichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16907562789681407416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4593182832464558023.post-681578565868467272012-08-28T13:04:03.579-05:002012-08-28T13:04:03.579-05:00Speaking of reviews, did you see I published anoth...Speaking of reviews, did you see I published another story on Kindle! ;) I'm kidding (although I did publish a story).<br /><br />It would never have occured to me to pay for reviews before this whole thing came out.
