As a matter of fact, I've read that some of these reviewers make a decent living this way.Liane Spicerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05035607144500219524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5594341074652821017.post-62700981867850484372011-10-30T16:14:48.275-04:002011-10-30T16:14:48.275-04:00I used to pay more attention to reviews than I do ...I used to pay more attention to reviews than I do now, I think.
