Hm. I've always thought of them more as product descriptions, more than
reviews.
What's the difference? Well, at least in GS+, reviews always mentioned
negative points. Now Joe, don't take this as a criticism; I just never
thought of "Such a Deal" -columns as reviews. And if you have mentioned
negative points, then OK.. I admit I haven't read many of them very
carefully, due to in part for my misconception of what the text was.
