Sounds like symantics are getting in the way. Every "report" should not be percieved as a "Technical Report". A report is a written account, giving information on something. The report could be opinion, fact, an accounting or a combination of any of these. I think it's easy enought for a reader to determine what portions are opinion and which parts appear to be presented as facts. As far as the facts go, anyone can get these wrong, and opinions are like... well we know everyone has one. If someone is perceiving these opinions as having some sort of "technical" validity, then I think they are reading into it, more than what was intended. A beginner or a person new to this forum, should realize there is no guaranteed expertise that should be attached to anything written in an open public forum.

By the way, these reports are "true reports", for I'm sure the opinions are truthful. I like them and would encourage all to continue to report on their opinions of the equipment they use. I've always valued the opinions of users who aren't making money off of the sale of what they're talking about. On the other hand, I realize it's natural for people to justify a purchase they just made. No one wants to think they made a poor decision, so it's natural to defend and promote the product they've layed down their hard earned money for. This is why when it comes to purchasing a product, we should all test a range of products and then buy what we like.

Keep those reports a com'n.
