RE: One of the problems with ezines...

"But once it is brought in and the process has started it seems that burying the review is a disservice to the readers."

Agreed.

Frankly 4/5 of the stuff out there that I have heard that get raves I wonder about. I think to myself "wow they really had to reach to find something good to say about it."

It's no so much that the magazine sent the bad unit back without a review (though they should not have) - what is more worrisome is reviewing it positively when deep down they know it's rubbish. Or just as bad - not knowing it's rubbish when it clearly is.
