No wonder usenet is dying. Half the people reply with smart-assed
remarks, and the other half reply with links to search engines or sites
like the ones you pointed out. And I agree with Golden California Girls.
Restaurant operators know about these sites, so chances are they create
multiple accounts to give their own restaurants glowing reviews (some
reviews sound like commercial advertisements) and a few write horrible
reviews because they didn't get their drink refilled fast enough.
But... I will look at the sites. I just won't take the opinions there as
seriously as something I could get here, even though someone could even
reply here with wonderful comments about a restaurant they've never even
seen.
