To some extent I'll agree with you BUT sometimes you have to go with a leap of faith. I did this when I bought my first Carvin six string after reading positive reviews about Carvin in BP. I have three now. Never regretted a single purchase. I did it again after reading the reviews on The Acme B2. I own four and now I'd use nothing else.

Oh of course you do, I have been known to do that too. I'm just saying I prefer reviews of products from people that aren't getting any profit out of it (like reviews from people on this site). If you are company A that pays for a full page of advertising each month and gives your product to test and keep, or company B that pays for a 1/4 page and wants the product back after 2 weeks......I think you get the idea.
