This is mentioned because even though this particular site is generally seems pretty reliable about offering opinions about businesses (apart from the occasional ax-grinder) it is not immune from the same type of thing that plagues Amazon and a whole lot of other places where folks post opinions about businesses. Business in and around TV know about this site and monitor it. If there is money on the line, some folks MAY not be averse to stacking the deck, so to speak. For OR against. But for my part I'm far more apt to trust folks whose posts I see frequently, than the folks show up with few or no previous posts to their credit (again, either way) when there are strong feelings about a business, one way or the other.
Right, possible fake reviews. It’s commonly believed about Amazon reviews. Likely some get into TOTV. Caveat Emptor.
