I've also noticed how overstock edits their reviews of products. Have you ever wondered why there are few if any bad reviews of products on their site? I've written a few that didn't make it on their site. This is interesting. I’ve also noticed how overstock edits their reviews of products.

I thought it was highly creative. Please don't take my word for it. Take this for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Meyer So this is what a wikipedia page about a world famous US inventor looks like. Stan doesn't even have a page with his name. The man who showed how to run a car on watter was not worthy of his own page. Either the wiki or the scientific community screwed up. I'm afraid it looks like it was both.

Oh how we cringed when we found out. That is hopefully unlikely to happen again, and will get unblocked quick-smart if it does ...
