Hi Karl ... "criticizing the critic", "ravaging the reviewer", "spitting the dummy" - same thing really. No matter how "bad" the review/critique the best responce is always to accept it graciously. Anything else makes the complainant look at best like a spoilt brat. How do I deal with bad reviews these days? Thank the reviewer for taking the time to comment. How do I deal with good reviews these days? Thank the reviewer for saying so - and taking the time to comment. Did I agree with the contentious review? No. It did sound harsh. But, if it was honestly given - as opposed to being fuelled by spite - it's a window into how an other sees the world. Rob
