You said it, Sunanthvn! Seeing all these one sided replies criticizing reviewers who called it amateurish, I was thinking exactly that that you gave words to. Why is being an amateur something negative, something degrading??? Amateur is antonym of professional. Amateur is fresh. Amateur is innocent. Amateur has not yet allowed his creativity got overtaken by the pressures of the market. Nobody in his right mind can call ARR a non-professional in the positive sense of the word. A person with 18 year of proven history from one top position to another top position is a great, commendable, role-model professional. Every professional should follow him. So, if anybody is calling such a professional having created something amateur, and when you have heard VTV and know that it is not amateurish in the negative connotation of the word, then there ought to be some other meaning of the term that you have missed. I think we should not try to give our connotation to every word we hear about ARR. People might be saying it in the right positive sense, buddies. I haven't heard VTV yet, just analyzing the term. -- Rawat > --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Gobi Kanadasan <kgo...@...> wrote: >> Maybe those guys are amateur in writing review.
