[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1170800, member: 56379"] Ha ha ha...EXACTLY! I love the your washing machine analogy!;) That's why it's really tough to trust online review summaries/statistics...they're usually FULL of folks with negative reviews...and short on positive reviews. In fact...I sometimes think that there's a "snowball" effect...where someone starts reading the reviews for a product...realizes that they had a similar problem with the same product...and then feels "obligated" to join in on the product "bashing". Of course this could happen with positive reviews as well...but I think that we know that folks that have had a negative experience are MUCH MORE motivated to complain...than folks with positive experiences are to praise a product. - Nick [/QUOTE]
