I only look at poor reviews to see if complaining about product or just packaging, shipping, or dumb ass customer ordered wrong one.

Fucking worthless.

I love reviews for new products before they're ever available for purchase. They must be time travelers or clairvoyant.

I ended up using a spreadsheet to compare the offerings, particularly ink page counts vs. replacement costs. Some of the cheaper printers will cost you way more in ink. Sometimes it's almost cheaper to just throw the printer away when it runs out of ink and get another. Fortunately I had just done the research for my folks when I needed more ink for mine. Was cheaper to replace than to keep feeding my old printer ink.

I've been really happy with my HP OfficeJet Pro 8710. Double sided printing (duplexing) built-in.

Kinda like this gem of a review?

The habit pisses me off also.

That was no different than your, "What I read was..." statement just before. Sorry I don't follow your sports team bub.

Who? Me or Mrs. Davsel that follows me around the website like some spited woman complaining that I haven't gotten the details of her soaps correct?

Can't call it "following" when you seemingly post to 95% of every active thread whether you have something constructive to add or not (see above).
Just calling out the BS Social Mediaesque babble when I see it. You do realize that raising your post count is not the same as rasing the number of followers on your Instagram. Or don't you? Have you considered MySpace?

I'm convinced that reviews of business are almost entirely fakes and that few bad reviews ever get posted or remain online.

Very true.
I cannot trust some popular YouTube firearm reviewers.
Ones I cannot trust as much tend to review Olight flashlight too often.
