If you disagree with those reasons, that's cool. It's a personal decision. But I don't see where I was unclear. Tony, I gave three explicit reasons for not wanting to take the $125.

Journalist are paid to talk about a product, ALREADY. Only, they not always mention they do. If anything, ReviewMe has the virtue of introducing some ethics into a pratice that has long existed and will exist for a long time to come, no matter what anybody says. brem of martinbreton.com Can someone explain to me what is so different from paper media?
