One can read anything he wishes, and it is not like reading Patrick's post takes the monthly allowance away from someone.
I see it very simply... I have my own compass, do my own searches, but I also keep an eye on recommendations by several people here, whose tastes I have come to respect over the years. They are not reviewers, not even amateur reviewers, just people like I am.
I am not in this racket to make a kill, or to retire a billionaire... just to have fun.
