Jeanne Phillips ("Dear Abby") Singlehandedly Destroys Any Integrity In Amazon Reviewing?

Just when some of us have been trying to make Amazon a serious alternative to the corrupt, incompetent reviewing in the mainstream media, just when some of us are signing our real names and writing reviews better than anything that has been in the New York TIMES for decades, DEAR ABBY advises her readers to destroy the credibility of Amazon reviewing. How is a Dear Abby reader to deal with the friend's husband who has self-published a novel and wants her to "enter a great review on the Amazon page"?

Abby has the answer: "Find something you liked about the book and mention that on the Amazon page. You could call it a 'page turner' because you had to turn from Page 1 to Page 2, didn't you?"

    Hello from Mary (Howard Meyerhoff et al.) Cresswell, sitting in the S Pacific looking out at the site of an early whaling station. Hope you are thriving.
