Agreed. That's why I always offer constructive criticism - I actually had one girl who refused to use a beta, but when I kept telling her that her plotlines were good but could be fantastic if she'd find someone to help her polish them, she told me she was looking for a beta. Her next piece was better by a thousand percent, and I told her so (that I was thrilled by how she'd improved her technique). And do you know when I did, she THANKED me for not letting her off the hook.

Sadly, many of those reviews come from other little kids who think it really is the best, and so we're creating a generation of kids who don't know what they're doing.
