Does this mean I have to fire myself? D'oh!
To speak to Maggie's original posting. I do hope no one sees this site as
anything close to real journalism. I'm not working for anyone, so I am in
no sense a journalist.
As well, as I've mentioned, this is not a commercial site of any kind. No
one's paying for this site (other than me) and no one's making or attempting
to make any money from it.
A review written for a newspaper or magazine is something professional;
something you pay for. A review on my site is something silly; something I
didn't imagine anyone would take so seriously. :)
All the best,
Allan B.
