That could be easily faked too. I'm not saying you're company is doing this, Russ, but imagine how easy it would be to have your employees setup email address with various free services, submit reviews, and then respond to any questions as if you're a legitimate customer. Heck, if they wanted to be fancy, they could build a fully automated system to handle all this. In short order you could have thousands of 'real' reviews up there, and all requests for comments would be forwarded to an employee for response. To make it seem more legit, you could even intersperse a few 3 or 4 star reviews (things like "Good service, but they don't offer Linux"). I don't think many companies would do such things, but look at Yahoo movies, or Amazon's book reviews. There have been well publicized cases of publishers submitting fake reviews to try to sell more tickets/books. Again, I don't know the best answer for this problem. I'm just saying, take those reviews with a grain of salt. -------------- "EMF <idahopower.com>" made the following annotations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This transmission may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
