Mike - Thanks. I think you nailed it there. I went back and tried a number of different vendor reviews and discovered than many had no review comments (as I experienced on the vendor I was originally trying to check on) but others had many.

For instance one of the first vendor ads (for Daniel'S Heating and A/C) has lots of comments, while Lenhart Electric, right below it, has no reviews posted.

It turns out it is easy to tell right away as when you click on the "Create/Read Reviews" button and the vendor page pops up, look right above the big vendor ad and you will see a frame titled "Ad poster...". If that window is empty there have been no posts, but when the window has a conversation tree displayed then there are comments and clicking on the Next link will take you to the first comment and subsequent ones.

This works every time. [:-)}
