I don't like whinging, it ain't my style, and it's not sour grapes, I wasn't robbed of a GAD myself by it.

But this review ain't GAD material to me. I mean, the first paragraph doesn't even make sense.

I just got morrowind so was intrigued to read other peoples views on it. As this got a GAD I was reassured it'd be a good review. Nope.

I'm kind of ashamed of whinging, and I apologise to the writer of that review, but to me it's just plain pants. I would be interested to know what aspect of the review the GAD staff thought made it great.

That's it, no more ranting from me today.

If you win GAD and aren’t a member, you are automatically given the membership (& free gift)... The 90 days claim time has nothing to do with it

Notorious Biggles manages to review himself.

I was always disappointed that my review of the cathode ray light (green) never went on my stats. My Red Factin 2 review didn't hake it onto the staats either. Maybe that's why it didn't win. IT ALL BECOMES CLEAR

That's the thing; good reviews that people have obviously put a lot of effort into keep getting beaten by reviews half the length, full of text speak, and general nonsensical babble.
