As a point of comparison, I challenge you to read my reviews written for PPP and my reviews written...just because. The "just because" group can be found <a href="http://drumsnwhistles.com/category/reviews/" rel="nofollow">here</a> and the PPP posts can be found <a href="http://drumsnwhistles.com/category/payperpost/" rel="nofollow">here.

Don't you think it's worth seeing what's actually going on before writing a slam?
