Because Pop Photo did it in the past does not absolve other sites doing 
it now, short memory or otherwise...Would you rather this sort of 
information stays unreported? Or just have gushing reviews for products 
one is emotionally attached to? Or is it better to read all possible 
views, and then make up your own mind?
Cheers
