And lastly I am certainly not denigrating the integrity of new members of TOTV. --- okay, caveats over ---

Anyone else notice that an inordinately high number of recent restaurant "reviews" have been posted by people with 4, 5, 6, or 7 previous posts on TOTV? While most seem to be of the negative variety, some are defensive of the establishments. When Chelsea or Taz with their 9000 previous posts have a comment, that's one thing, but when a person's intro to TOTV is to torpedo a business, it makes me wonder. At least one poster admitted to being an employee of the restaurant, and I could totally understand his/her defense of the place.

Bye the bye, this is not a comment about this thread per se. I've noticed it in other restaurant threads. Maybe, as usual, my mind is off track, but it just struck me unusual, and a bit bothersome. I could, of course, be wrong.

I am not one of those who has 9000+ posts, but I do have my opinion on some things and I thought that is what this site is about. I like to read the posts both positive and negative and then decide on my own. I know that food service is one of the toughest businesses out there. I worked for a company that owned 3 restaurants in the same town. My bosses welcomed feedback both good and bad. That is only one of the ways businesses know what they're doing right and what is wrong and where changes need to occur. From some of what I read in a number of the posts on Havana (yes, I posted one), I saw for myself. We had both good and bad experiences within our group. What we all did agree on was the waitress....she was terrific. My intent was not to "torpedo" the business and I'm sorry if you saw it as such. And yes, I will try them again.
