Why we dont allow user reviews\comments

The following line from the readme.txt convinced me of the quality of the program,

"This program is specific because he detects malicious files and viruses that many other popular programs does not detect"

 

I guess it takes a long time to lose a "bad reputation" that people have (justifiably or not) built up about a company/individual/product.

Conversely, you can lose a good image overnight though

 

I understand that there are more languages than English. (some of the best programs come from other countries)

However, if you are going to be marketing toward predominantly English speaking people, then at least get it proof read, whether or not English is your first language.

 

Maybe I'm being pedantic, but I judge things by how they first appear. (which is what most people do whether they admit it or not)

Imagine if MajorGeeks was released to say, a German or Chinese market, and it was full of grammatical or other errors. I somehow doubt it would have the same success or popularity.

Again, maybe it's just me, but I don't believe in loose ends ends, and with the resources available to people these days, they don't have any excuses. (we are talking English here, not some strange dialect)

 

Yeah, that's a good point if it's free.

 

Huh...what...excuse me, but I have nothing to do with this!!

Believe me though...I totally understand where you are coming from!! Unfortunately, there's not much that can be done to sway that raving lunatic that is bitching, even though he has no idea what he is talking about!!

Such as a grammar checker?

 

Oh Timmah...he won't like it, he hates everything! Hey Mikey!!

I have been looking for the time before you asked for feedback on this program. I loaded on the Mrs Junkbox computer and it did not work with The Screen Magnifier. She tried for 20 mins and then went back to FF telling me she could not use it.

I agree with your prior that the name AOL chases some away, but the Anti-AOL Nazis ought to at least remember who owns the Netscape they covet....

Thanks for the post MA. These email rants are always good for a chuckle.

Gotta love these emails..always good for a laugh and it amazes me that these people actually expect to be taken seriously with their profound spelling errors and grammatical skills that are on the level of a child in primary school. At least the little kids are eager and willing to improve on those skills.

Bottom line, I have read reviews on various sites from newegg to zdnet to download.com & others. And, I do so purely for entertainment purposes. People try out software, or don't and rate it just by who's name is behind it, they buy a piece of hardware and automatically think they know all there is to know about it and can not only rate it BUT! compare to others pieces of hardware they've never used. It's hysterical! No way can they be taken seriously!

The only reviews I take seriously are those done by people I know and trust. People who have proved time and time again that they really do know what they are talking about...such as a chosen few here at MG. Other than that..y'all can go fly a kite.
