I don't disagree Scott. I too give vastly different critiques depending on the person... but I tend to give critiques about 90% of the time. My big gripe is just that SOOOO many comments don't include ANY critical element... they're praises only. Like I've said a lot of times, I'm not necessarily against praise only comments. And I think it would be VERY instructive if people would state upfront that they don't want constructively critical comments. And I don't think many would be willing to make this statement... So it's a very interesting conundrum!

There isn't an right and wrong answer here. This is a good discussion.

Peace,

Ian
