Have you posted a review for The Love Knot yet? I need to make sure I give you my worthless fan vote :):p:confused:

Not yet. I'm waiting for Epinions to get off of their dead arses and get the link into their database. I'm still twiddling with it as I'm waiting. Personally, I never consider your votes to be worthless.

Thanks, I'll keep trying. Maddening that they don't stick though. The negative votes stick well enough :mad:

I find it very frustrating myself. It's such an illogical thing to do. If Epinions doesn't give me a link by next Wed, I'll go on and post the Love Knot review on Amazon. But I think you can still leave comments, even if the ratings don't stick.

[Misfit]

I'm making a point of leaving a comment for you and a couple others when I vote, just to "document" as it were that a vote was cast. I've given you and Lilly at least one or two that never even show. Hugely unfair, especially as the negg's keep sticking :mad:

**edited** I just stopped over to your and Lilly's reviews and I could swear I posted a vote that showed up and now it's gone, but Lilly's picked up a negative instead.

[Telynor]

Not a lot read this month, mostly trying to get things done around here. Reviews for these and other things are posted over at Epinions.com/user-telynor -- any and all hits and comments are greatly appreciated!
