Greendale was a big success for Young; his largest in quite some time.
The fans may have been divided over whether it was good or bad, but
that's different from it being a success.



I read almost all your review snippets here on rmp and once in a while
I'll go to your site to finish the review and poke around.

I appreciate that you're a small organization.

A guy would think that the first couple paragraphs of your reviews, the
paragraphs you throw up on rmp as teasers, would be more rigorously
checked than the rest of your fine efforts on the regular website.  I
mean, the teasers you post here are basically advertising, right?  Just
a thought.


I read everything several times over the course of a few days before posting, but sometimes I make mistakes. I'm human, and it's not an easy task to proofread one's own work. For the most part, I think (hope?) you'd agree that these mistakes are rare. I find that they tend to happen when home life is crazy, which it is right now, considering my family has been battling some sort of cold/flu bug over the past week. That's not an excuse. I hate making stupid mistakes like that, not matter what the reason happens to be, but these are the realities that I have faced since starting the publication in 1994.
