I'll certainly not say that [M] isn't a good site, and I have a lot of respect for an organization or group that is dedicated to continually improving their results/products, but I do agree with some of the thoughts that have been expressed (some not very well) here. the "we're doing the best that we can with the equipment we've got" idea gets old, almost all the sites out here on the web that actaully care about the quality of their work but don't have the equipment for it use that line. The problem is that this leads to a veritable sea of innacurate (or worse shoddily done) reviews that the newcomer to this area has to plow through in order to find good information. I speak from experience here being a relative newcomer. worse yet, there are sites that don't even put a lot of thought into the accuracy of their review, just post whatever results they get and add to the mess of articles available. as someone just finding their way around this hobby a while ago, I had no idea or reference point as to where to find good reviews or information.
I would rather, when searching for a review of a product, find only one or two well-written ones, as opposed to one or two hundred that are mediocre at best. I'm not saying that madshrimps shouldn't do reviews, but saying that they're a news site and not specialized, so we shouldn't expect as much from them doesn't cut it. no, I wouldn't expect as much of a technical document as I would from say pH or BillA, but If you're going to publish something, then put forth your best effort regardless of topic material. Edit and proofread your work. Write a one page article if you only have one page of useful information. Make it clear, and consise so that the average person who reads it will benefit from having done so. Research your material, your testing practices, your terminology, and get the details right. Madshrimps may be written for by people who view this as a hobby, but since you presume to publish and educate the rest of us, you have a responsibility as well, to get it right.
/end rant.

@Tumor, I agree and I am sure that if [M] will work on these things we will no doubt see better articles from them in the future, and look forward to them. WHEW, well, i'm hungry, time to go find a snack.
