Couldn't agree with you more. Once Upon a time I used to get paid by people for reviewing things. Now people are constantly plucking at the hem of my garment and begging me to write reviews of things I've already paid them for. 🙃

I laughed out loud while reading this-something I thought perhaps I'd lost the ability to do, it has been so long. Thank you, Mr. Jacobson!

Substack has not yet asked me to review my experience here, but if they ever do in the future, I just merely send them a link to this post!

This week the supermarket asked me to review my groceries; specifically a pack of sliced ham. 🤷🏼‍♀️

N'importe. Frankly, I preferred the first one. More sauce.

Yeah, Howard, I was going to comment on the editing, but…well, you know. Hope this finds you well. Jon Ward

Nobody pays me for reviewing anything. But I share your dislike about being asked to do so. I will also apologize for being too familiar. I address my fellow Substack writers by their first names because that’s what I prefer for myself. Interestingly, I had thought about you earlier and wondered when you might post again. And here you are popping up.
