Amazonian progress

Good news folks- I'm now ranked 116 on amazon! Just 16 places from the elite top 100!

Incidentally, here's what the amazon site has to say about its top reviewers:

The ballots are in. The votes have been counted. Let's hear it for our Top Reviewers--selected by Amazon.com customers like you. These clear-minded critics voiced their opinions about Amazon.com items. In turn, they supplied their fellow shoppers with helpful, honest, tell-it-like-it-is product information. Please join us as we salute this topnotch group of review writers.

Certainly sounds like a fair assessment of my work to date! Let's keep those helpful votes coming in!

Incidentally, Amazon has recently published detailed figures that reveal the total number of unhelpful votes, as well as the helpful ones. At present I'm on 5664 of 6656, which means that 86% of all my votes have been 'helpful' (and that I only need 8 more negatives to reach 1000 negative votes!). Let's compare that to Mr. Peter Durward Harris, amazon's so-called "no. 1 reviewer". He has 36,038 helpfuls out of 46,024- A MERE 79% 'HELPFUL' VOTING!

YOU'D BETTER WATCH OUT HARRIS, IF YOU'RE HOPING TO KEEP YOUR CLUTCHES IN THAT NUMBER 1 SPOT! ONE OF THESE DAYS JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED IN THE AMAZON RANKINGS!!!
